Marzia Babakarkhail fue jueza de familia en Afganistán en los años 90. Ahora vive en Reino Unido desde donde hace campaña por la evacuación y el reasentamiento de las juezas afganas y sus familiasEl tiempo corre a toda velocidad para las juezas de Afganistán que se quedaron atrás.

Russia's refusal to extend the Black Sea grain deal, announced early Monday morning by the Kremlin, dominated the United Nations Security Council's session on Ukraine in the afternoon. The news from Moscow rejecting the renewal of the initiative - signed by Russia, Ukraine, Türkiye and the UN nearly one year ago - was already widely reported by the time the Council met.

Thankfully, many women judges have escaped Afghanistan with the help of the International Association of Women Judges and other organizations and governments.

They are among the brave women who sent the Taliban, terrorists and criminals to prison.
