Ending TPS is ill-informed and unconscionable. DHS claims #Afghanistan is stable, yet women report forced marriages, killings, imprisonment & repression. Congress must expand resettlement pathways so our allies are not forced to return to these conditions. cbsnews.com/news/trump-adm…

Today marks 30 years since the genocide in #Srebrenica, a town in Bosnia and Herzegovina. We joined Nejra Lilic, a second-generation survivor and peace and conflict researcher, for an evening of remembrance and reflection moderated by GIWPS' Dr. Jessica Smith.

As the race for critical minerals accelerates, women are often left behind—excluded from jobs and exposed to sexual violence and toxins—even though their inclusion boosts outcomes. GIWPS's Jessica Anania explores this in her new article for @ForeignPolicy. foreignpolicy.com/2025/07/10/wom…

The ICC issued arrest warrants for Taliban leaders over the persecution of women and girls. Zahra Nader, @ZanTimes editor-in-chief and member of our network, reflected on the “systematic attempt to erase all women from public life" in #Afghanistan. washingtonpost.com/world/2025/07/…

We applaud the @UN for adopting a resolution calling out the widespread and systematic oppression of women and girls in #Afghanistan, despite a veto from the US. We echo the demand for a reversal of the Taliban's oppressive policies. news.un.org/en/story/2025/…
