#IAmMySong Campaign Reverses Ban On Girls Singing In Afghanistan
Afghanistan faced a major backlash to a new law, with the #IAmMySong campaign resulting in the government reversing a ban on girls over 12 singing in public, implemented on 10th March 2021. Issued by Kabul’s Ministry of Education, the ban would have meant that girls aged 12 and up could not sing in public arenas, which would include any participation in singing the National Anthem of Afghanistan.
