[Press release – October 13, 2023]
On October 7, 2023 (the sombre anniversary of NATO’s invasion of Afghanistan in 2001), in response to a proposal by the Spontaneous Movement of Afghan Women, the International Committee for the Defense of Afghan Women called for rallies, pickets and initiatives around the world to demand:
That the governments of the major powers grant immediate welcome and asylum to persecuted Afghan women!
That Neda Parwani, Julia Parsi and all arrested activists be released!
This call has been widely echoed: in Afghanistan, in eight provinces, and all over the world. Women and men, workers, students, activists from women’s, democratic, trade union and political organizations rallied around these slogans.
