CHASI organizes third annual Walkout in Support of Women in Afghanistan

by

When a regime bans girls from education, bars women from healthcare jobs, and blocks their access to treatment, it’s not just oppression, it’s a slow, deliberate death sentence.

August marks four years since the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan.

Please join us at noon on Thursday, August 14 for our third annual walkout of UFV’s Abbotsford campus in solidarity with the women of Afghanistan, co-organized with Sustainable UFV.

CHASI has been vocally supporting women in Afghanistan over these past four years. To learn more about our past events and coverage, please see these past blog posts:
