One year after the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan, 17-year-old Mursal is still in disbelief that she can’t go back to school.

“It’s not right that they’re ordering us to hide our faces and stop going to school. I hope that young girls will not give up,” she says.

We are on the verge of a world of 8 billion people; a world of infinite possibilities, but only if all people have rights and choices.

If we work together, as one global community committed to change, we will create a resilient world where both people and the planet can thrive.
