Aryana Sayeed launches women-only European tour

Aryana Sayeed Ladies Only tour women's rights Afghan music DEFAW

Afghan singer and women's rights activist Aryana Sayeed is launching a European concert tour titled ‘Ladies Only’, featuring audiences composed exclusively of women. The tour serves as a platform to highlight the restrictions faced by women and girls in Afghanistan under Taliban rule.

Sayeed, a former judge on The Voice Afghanistan, fled the country following the Taliban's return to power in 2021. Through her organization, Defenders of Equality, Freedom, and Advancement for Women (DEFAW), she continues to advocate for Afghan women who face prohibitions on education beyond the sixth grade, employment, and public activities.

The tour begins in Rotterdam at the Laurenskerk, followed by performances in Stockholm on September 5, Hamburg on September 26, and Wiesbaden on October 3.
