Earlier this week, the United Nations Security Council called on the Taliban to respect women.

Shortly thereafter, Joe Biden’s State Department called on the new Taliban government to be more “inclusive.”

Well, the U.N. and the Biden administration may have faith in the Taliban to respect Afghan women, but Afghan women don’t seem to be nearly as confident:

Would the U.N. and Biden administration like to tell those women that they’ll be fine? That they’re just overreacting about the threat of being enslaved, raped, and murdered?

Hey @WHCOS Ron Klain, can we get a retweet for the feminists in the Biden admin? @DrBiden @KamalaHarris @PressSec https://t.co/o7sqVvgdhz

These women deserve to be acknowledged by the administration who abandoned them to their fate.

'The Taliban is coming for me.'

⚠️ A warning, the footage is harrowing, but we cannot look away.

If our withdrawal was a well thought out and strategic one then it follows that decision makers knowingly condemned her to the fate she so viscerally feels is inevitable. https://t.co/XCHDMEzCdd

The Afghan women’s anguish and suffering are the Biden administration’s shame.

Imagine what the soldiers must be feeling listening to their cries. They want to help but they can't
