Swara Bhasker shared art by an Afghan artist Shamsia Hassani which depicts a woman surrounded by Taliban forces and wrote, “Afghan graffiti artist @ShamsiaHassani saying it all! The Afghan people have been thrown to the wolves. Women esp. #Taliban are monstrous in their brutal exercise of force and power. They are murderers & misogynists; their ideology is one of hate & violence & that won’t change.”

Rhea Chakraborty posted on her Instagram stories, “While women around the globe fight for pay parity, women in Afghanistan are being sold – They have become the pay. Heartbroken to see the condition of women and minorities in Afghanistan. Urge the global leaders to stand up to this! Women are human too.” She added the hashtag #Smashthepatriarchy.
