News Center- A group of Afghan women activists has been on a hunger strike in Germany for four days to protest the restrictions imposed on women and girls by the Taliban in Afghanistan and call for international recognition of the dire situation.

“This protest is a response to terrorism. We demand global recognition of the gender apartheid that persists in Afghanistan. The cry of Afghan women for justice must be heard,” said Tamanna Zaryab Paryani, a women’s rights advocate.

The hunger strike is expected to last until September 12.
