The situation of Afghan women activists is extremely critical due to the hunger strike and the silence of the German government. These women are protesting against the gender apartheid of the Taliban and the violation of women’s rights in Afghanistan, and they have resorted to a hunger strike. So far, the German government has not responded to this strike and the demands of Afghan women. Afghan women activists, led by Tamana Zaryab Pariani and her sister Zarmineh Zaryab Pariani from Afghanistan, who were previously imprisoned and tortured by the Taliban, have reached such an advanced stage in their strike that their situation is alarming. They need international support and pressure for the German government and other organizations to respond to their demands and recognize the gender apartheid of the Taliban. Considering the lack of response from the German government so far, this situation could lead to the continuation and intensification of the Afghan women’s strike. Therefore, the Purple Saturdays movement has also called on other countries and organizations to pay attention to and support Afghan women activists. We hope that due to the severity of the situation for Afghan women, the German government and other institutions will soon show a positive response, and these women will make progress in achieving the rights and freedoms of hundreds of thousands of Afghan women in Afghanistan.
