Angelina Jolie Shares a Letter From a Young Afghan Woman: “Help Ensure They’re Not Forgotten”

Angelina Jolie took to social media to share a personal, moving letter from a young Afghan woman detailing her experience in the Taliban-seized country.

“A young woman in #Afghanistan sent me this letter,” Jolie began the caption of her post. “I’m protecting her identity, but she hasn’t been able to go back to school since the Taliban seized power.”

“I feel like women don’t have any right to speak or put their word forward,” the unidentified woman wrote to Jolie. “The rights of the woman are taken away from them and they are not allowed to do anything in the country. Few weeks back when the Taliban arrested 2 of the women who raised their voices in order to ask for the rights of woman and freedom, I just thought, that this is the end and I might never be able to go outside again or even be able to speak as I am a Girl.”
