Mifepristone was approved by the FDA 20 years ago after a rigorous scientific and legal process, but access to this medication that millions rely on was stripped away with a stroke of a pen by a single person who was handpicked by Republican extremists set on a national ban.

A Texas woman was forced to give birth to a baby missing part of its brain and skull.
Then - because the state that forced her to give birth doesn't have public funds for infant funerals - she had to raise money to lay her daughter to rest.

For over a year, Ohio's Logan and Katja Lawrence have shared White supremacist lesson plans to a network of over 2,000 parents, to ensure their kids grow into "a wonderful Nazi," as Katja said.
GOP operatives aren't organizing against these lessons.

This is Sumaya. She has been locked up at home for 491 days, banned from going to school or university by the Taliban.
She pleads the world to listen. She begs Afghan girls to try & learn any way they can at home, so that they can rise and stand up for their basic human rights.

491 days since the Taliban banned teenage girls from school. 30 days since the Taliban banned women from going to university.
This #EducationDay, amplify the voices of girls in Taliban-ruled Afghanistan - the ONLY country on earth where girls education is banned!

Afghanistan is the ONLY country in the world where millions of girls are BANNED from going to school or university.
This artwork had been sent to me by a young woman, who used to be an Art teacher at a secondary school.
Today, she is locked up at home — alone and heartbroken.

In Afghanistan, now even the female mannequin’s faces must be covered.
The Taliban have ordered all shopkeepers to either behead female mannequins or cover their faces.
This is symbol of the Taliban's treatment of women in Afghanistan. Haunting.

Leaving Afghanistan with a heavy heart. It was minus 20 C when we left Kabul. Millions will be without relief until we are again allowed to work with and through women.
