‘Gender apartheid’: Victoria march pushes online learning for Afghan women
Organizers urged investment in online learning and satellite internet as they said Afghan women face a system of gender apartheid.
- On Sunday, May 31, executive director Lauryn Oates led the annual Red Pashmina Walk in James Bay, Victoria, raising awareness about human rights violations facing Afghan women and girls.
- Right to Learn Afghanistan organized the march to spotlight what Oates calls "gender apartheid," a system severely restricting women's access to education and jobs under strict Islamic law.
- Participants wear red pashminas, shawls originating in Persia, to symbolize urgent demand for education. Oates explained that many women take great risks accessing online programs, calling education "a life-and-death matter."
- Advocacy remains central to Right to Learn Afghanistan, which urges the international community to prioritize large-scale education investment over recognizing the Taliban government as Afghanistan's legitimate authority.
- Oates warned that international accountability gaps enable extremist groups like Boko Haram in West Africa and al-Shabaab in Somalia, which drive economic collapse and fuel man-made hunger crises.
