Eiffel Tower Illuminates with 'SOS' Afghan Women Message

The Eiffel Tower in Paris illuminated with a symbolic message to extend support to women in Afghanistan on the occasion of International Women’s Day. The global landmark showcased the "SOS Afghan Women" with special lighting. The message was broadcast in four languages—Persian, French, English, and Arabic.

The Eiffel Tower, recognized as one of the most frequented tourist destinations globally, has consistently acted as a vital symbol of global solidarity in humanitarian matters. This latest action garnered extensive media coverage and acted as a signal of togetherness with women confronting various obstacles in Afghanistan.

International Women’s Day, observed each year on March 8, serves as a chance to highlight women’s rights and the obstacles they encounter globally. In recent times, the plight of Afghan women has received notable focus from the global community, largely because of the political and social transformations occurring in the country. The exhibition of the phrase “Afghan Women” on top of the Eiffel Tower is a component of worldwide initiatives to advocate for women’s rights and liberties in Afghanistan.

The illumination of the Eiffel Tower represents worldwide unity and emphasizes the continuing challenges faced by Afghan women. It acts as a reminder of the significance of the international community’s involvement in supporting women's rights, especially in nations like Afghanistan where these rights are being heavily curtailed.
