Afghan Girls Use Art to Speak Out for Their Rights
In a world where their voices have been silenced and their rights stripped away, Afghan girls are turning to art as their quiet form of resistance. Through painting, poetry, and storytelling, they express what cannot be said aloud, grief, hope, and the dream of a brighter future.
