RASC: Following the repressive policies of the Taliban group on Afghanistani women, the “Campaign for Girls’ Access to Education in Afghanistan” in an open letter to the United Nations, referred to the complete removal of Afghanistani women from society by the Taliban group as gender apartheid, and World leaders have called for it to be recognized as a “crime against humanity”.
This campaign with the slogan “Act today, tomorrow will be too late” has requested the world’s support.
The authors of this letter said that this letter was supported by 30 networks and human rights organizations and 314 civil activists.
In a part of this letter, it is stated that the world leaders must be committed to their commitments in order to achieve the goals of sustainable development for the citizens of Afghanistan.
The agents of this campaign have addressed world leaders and said: “As leaders who believe and commit to equality, justice and human rights, it is your responsibility to reach out to the hundreds of thousands of girls and their families who want open school gates and social, political and cultural status.” Support the immediate and complete restoration of Afghanistan.”
The national campaign “Girls’ access to education in Afghanistan” has demanded a concerted and bold action from the United Nations and its member states in order to reopen girls’ schools and give them access to quality education.
The authors of this letter have requested the participants of the high-level political forum for sustainable development to impose restrictions on the trips of the Taliban group and blacklist them.
The campaign for national education of girls has said: “The world’s achievement of sustainable development is impossible without Afghanistan.”
This campaign has been launched with the participation of a group of defenders and petitioners of the right to education in Afghanistan, they have defined the prohibition of women from their basic rights based on “Article 7 of the Rome Statute” as a “crime against humanity”.
The Taliban group has called and rejected international pressure to open girls’ schools as “foreign intervention in Afghanistan’s internal affairs”.
With their latest order to ban women’s hair salons, this group has increased the pressure on Afghanistani women despite international criticism and requests.
