RASC News Agency: Tamana Zaryab Paryani, one of the Afghanistani women’s rights activists in Germany, who is on the fourth night of her hunger strike, wrote in her X/Twitter account that the United Nations should abandon its conservatism and “gender apartheid” in Afghanistan.
She, along with several other female activists, has been on a 12-day hunger strike since September 1 in Cologne, Germany, in protest of the world’s indifference to the situation of women in Afghanistan.
Peryani further wrote that formal or informal meetings with women outside of Afghanistan will not change anything in the lives of millions of “captive women” inside Afghanistan.
This is while different countries and Richard Bennett, the special rapporteur for human rights of the United Nations in Afghanistan, have not said anything about the hunger strike of these women’s rights activists in Germany.
Previously, Richard Bennett has discussed the human rights situation in Afghanistan with women’s rights activists in some countries, including Turkey.
After his conversation with civil activists in Germany, he said that handling the situation in Afghanistan is a global responsibility.
Also, the United Nations Special Rapporteur for Afghanistan’s human rights asked the world to recognize “gender apartheid” in Afghanistan as a “global crime” and hold the Taliban accountable for imposing restrictions on women.
After the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, this country has faced a serious human rights crisis.
Recently, United Nations experts have said that it is necessary to discuss gender apartheid in Afghanistan.
