RASC: Ferishta Abbasi, a researcher of the Afghanistan section of Human Rights Watch, said at the Human Rights Council meeting that women in Afghanistan are the front line defenders of human rights and fight not only for their rights but for everyone’s basic rights and an equal future.
She added that Human Rights Watch calls on governments to continue to express their collective anger at the Taliban’s disregard for the basic rights of women and girls in Afghanistan and to support the protesting women who chant the slogan “bread, work and freedom”.
In her speech, Abbasi said that, there is no country in the world where the basic human rights of women and girls are more limited than Afghanistan.
He stated that in 2023, Afghanistan will be the only country where women and girls do not have access to schools and universities.
Abbasi emphasized that the latest decisions of the Taliban violate the rights of women and girls in all fields.
According to her, the Taliban group’s restrictions against women and girls are now the main factor contributing to Afghanistan’s humanitarian crisis, which affects the entire population.
Abbasi said that the responsibility for the consequences of the decisions of the Taliban group rests with the leadership of this group.
