The Join Me on the Bridge Campaign was remarkably successful in showing support for women in Afghanistan, the Congo, and other war-torn countries. In the United States alone, there were 138 bridge events in 38 states, and globally, 464 bridges events took place in 70 countries. Together, we stood together in solidarity and support for our sisters, raising awareness and support for women in conflict. From the Golden Gate Bridge, to the Great Wall of China, across Africa, the Americas, Asia, Australia, and Europe a spotlight was put on international issues and the call for women to be involved in the peace was loud and clear.
However, there is always more that we can do. The petition to demand that women have an equal role in the Afghan peace process is still open. By signing this petition you can join the thousands in calling for urgent action so that Afghan women can play a full part in building the bridges of peace for their future.
