The women of Afghanistan who’ve worked so hard to secure rights and push for an education for themselves are heroes whose efforts cannot be in vain. As the oppression of the Taliban comes into full focus, the world is watching those rights be stripped away from women who fought hard to secure their liberties — and from girls who never knew a world where they couldn’t walk the streets alone, play soccer, or have their faces shown in public.
The United States of America is a force for good in the world. It is a light pushing back against the darkness of regimes which wish to stifle freedom everywhere. It is at its best when it continues to speak out in support of those being treated in brutal, unjust ways.
