UN women’s division calls for support of women’s struggles in Afghanistan

KABUL (Khaama Press): The United Nations Women’s Division has called on the global community to listen to the voices of women and girls in Afghanistan and support their struggles.

On Saturday, the organization issued a message on social media platform X, asking countries around the world to ‘invest’ in the resistance of women and girls in Afghanistan.

The United Nations Women’s Division, referring to the struggle of women and girls in Afghanistan as their global struggle, emphasized that they remain alongside Afghan women and girls.

The organization is calling for support for the struggles of women while the struggles of women in Afghanistan have always been suppressed, and several protesting women, including Zhulia Parsi, Manizha Seddiqi, and Parisa Azada, are in the prisons of the Taliban administration.

Amnesty International has also criticized the global community’s silence in the face of human rights violations, especially the violation of women’s rights by the Taliban administration, and has called for the release of other women from prison.

In addition to these limitations, in the past two years, restrictions on education, work, participation, and access to basic rights have led to the exclusion of women from public life in Afghanistan.

Despite all reactions regarding the lifting of restrictions against women and girls in Afghanistan, the Taliban regime has labeled these demands of the global community as ‘orders’ and insisted that the rights of women and girls in Afghanistan are ensured within the framework of ‘Islamic Sharia’.
