‘They’re Not Forgotten,’ Angelina Jolie writes in a powerful letter from a little Afghan girl.
As women are being removed from their homes, Angelina Jolie is using her platform to relay remarks from an Afghan girl who believes that «women don’t have any right to talk.»
Angelina Jolie is using her celebrity to bring attention to the situation in Afghanistan, where «young women are being snatched from their homes at gunpoint at night and vanished.» She used Instagram to post a letter she received from an Afghan child whose life had been severely touched by the Taliban’s acts.
«This letter was sent to me by a young woman in #Afghanistan. «I’m hiding her name, but she hasn’t been able to return to school since the Taliban took power,» she said in the caption of the photo, which included a blurry photo of the letter.
She included a section of the letter written by the young Afghan woman. «I believe that women have no right to talk or put forth their opinions,» the letter stated. «Women’s rights are taken away from them, and they are barred from doing anything in the country.»
«A few weeks ago, when the Taliban arrested two women who raised their voices to demand women’s rights and freedom, I just believed this was the end and that I might never be able to go outdoors again or even speak as a Girl,» she said.
Angelina Jolie has previously utilized her platform to offer these young women a voice. In August, she released another letter from an Afghan girl who expressed her dissatisfaction with the lack of freedom to express herself on social media and in everyday life.
