The first womens protest took place today in Kabul.

This is courage in the face of real oppression.

This is stunning & brave.

Blown away by these women - I really hope thier movement grows & thier protests continue & increase in size. And I hope they stay safe.

Reading numerous tweets, it seems that the women were protesting outside thier workplace and were demanding thier rights to work, study & take part in politics. According to The Pakistan Daily on Twitter, the Taliban soldiers asked the women to move/leave, but the women held thier ground.

It looks like it started with four women then others joined them.

We have no idea how long the Taliban will tolerate women doing this - only time will tell what the outcome is & whether there will be repercussions.

I can't even express how moving this is, how brave I think these women are & how much love & respect I have for them. These are fierce, brilliant, courageous, awesome women.
