Oxford University Hosts Vigil for Afghan Women

The Women’s Rights Network (WRN) held an overnight vigil at the University of Oxford on Saturday to raise awareness about the dire situation facing women and girls in Afghanistan, Khaama Press reported yesterday.

This event was organized amid escalating concerns regarding the ongoing violations of women’s rights in the country, where many have been deprived of education, employment, and essential freedoms.

The vigil aimed to highlight the challenges Afghan women encounter, particularly the recent suspension of educational programs in fields like midwifery and nursing. The WRN announced the event on social media, emphasizing its goal to amplify the voices of Afghan women on the global stage.

The meeting takes place at a time when women and girls in Afghanistan have been deprived of their rights to education, employment, and work.

This event serves as a critical platform for raising awareness about the continuing violation of women’s rights in Afghanistan. With the international community’s growing attention to the plight of Afghan women, such initiatives aim to generate support for advocating their rights and push for policy changes.. The future remains uncertain for Afghan women and girls, but events like this serve to keep their struggles visible in the global discourse.
