They’ve gone dark: Afghans who helped the U.S. military, trained as American-style journalists and rode the wave of women heading to higher education are destroying the diplomas, transcripts and résumés that prove how they built civil society in the country that the U.S. has left behind.
Sisters, together: Global voices from #WomensMarch
GSS correspondents captured scenes from the Woman’s March in Washington, D.C. and sister marches in New York, Paris, Chicago, Eugene, Oregon and even Walla Walla, Washington, on Jan. 21, the day after Donald Trump’s inauguration as U.S. president.
Here’s a sampling of their work. Follow us @GSSVoices or find us at globalstudentsquare on Instagram to see more.
