Good morning all you good people and looking forward to seeing you all soon
at Liturgy,

Here is a timely petition I am sure all of us are in support of and it just
needs one quick click.
Peace, Dwyer
Dear friends,
The Taliban tried to kill me when I fought for girls' education. And now,
it’s been *one month since the Taliban in Afghanistan banned millions of
girls from school.*

The situation is dire and our Afghan sisters need our help. So *I’m
personally asking you to join me, alongside Afghan women’s rights advocates
Zarqa Yaftali and Shaharzad Akbar*, in calling on leaders to get all Afghan
girls back in school.

*Help us make this one of the biggest calls for girls’ education the world
has ever seen*, and I’ll deliver it directly to G20 leaders. Sign with one
click and share with everyone:

*To the Taliban and leaders around the world*








*,One month ago, the Taliban shut school gates for millions of Afghan girls
-- robbing them of not just an education but also their futures.Afghanistan
is now the only country in the world that forbids girls' education. Leaders
everywhere must take urgent, decisive action to get every Afghan girl back
in school. - To the Taliban authorities, you assured the world that you
would respect the rights of girls and women — but you are denying millions
their right to learn. Reverse the de facto ban on girls’ education and
re-open girls’ secondary schools immediately.- To the leaders of the G20
nations, discussing the importance of education isn't enough. Use the G20
Leaders' Declaration to call on the Taliban to allow girls to go to school
and provide urgent funding to support a coordinated education plan for all
Afghan children.- To the leaders of Muslim countries, religion does not
justify preventing girls from going to school. Make this clear to Taliban
leaders by issuing public statements on the Islamic imperative for girls’
complete education.The longer a girl stays out of school, the less likely
she is to return. Join us in calling on leaders around the world to defend
Afghan girls' right to learn and lead.Sincerely,*

*Zarqa Yaftali, Malala Yousafzai, Shaharzad Akbar*
