No power but incredible strength: The stories of Afghan survivors
UN Women Afghanistan and IOM commissioned this booklet, which uses powerful illustrations to tell the poignant stories of Afghan women survivors of the devastating earthquakes in Herat Province in October 2023, and of Afghan women who have been forcibly returned from Pakistan since November 2023.
You will not read their stories in the media or see their names in history books. But we must not forget them. Listen to Afghan women and girls and support their struggle. Their fight is our global fight.
Illustrations are by Karrie Fransman.
