This Social Justice Week event, organised by students and staff of the Maynooth University Department of International Development, highlights the struggles of Afghan women and LGBTQ+ individuals through poetry, storytelling, and discussion. Featuring real-life narratives, a platform with activists and academics, and interactive activities, we aim to raise awareness of the injustices experienced by Afghan women and LGBTQ+ people, of their activism and struggles against oppression, and to foster solidarity. You are very welcome to come along to listen, to share, to encourage and to dream. Please feel free to wear Afghan or your own traditional attire.
