27% of the Afghan parliament is women. 150k women

27% of the Afghan parliament is women. 150k women have served as local government officials. Over 6k women serve in ANDSF & despite comprising only 22% of the official workforce, women are a huge part of the informal force that drives 80-90% of the Afghan economy. Yet 80% of Afghan women have suffered gender-based violence.

On the International Day of Prevention of Violence Against Women, we join @unwomen to #OrangetheWorld. #Afghanistan has given women the freedom to pursue their dreams--but we must work to ensure that Afghan women also have freedom from all forms of violence, fear, and discrimination.
