UN Official Calls on World to Voice Disapproval of Discrimination Against Women in Afghanistan
—————————–
United Nations Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed emphasized that women and girls in Afghanistan are systematically denied fundamental human rights, including access to education and employment, Khaama Press reported.

Mohammed stressed on Sunday that the international community cannot remain indifferent to these violations, urging effective measures to ensure their protection and empowerment.

She emphasized that women’s rights are an integral part of universal human rights and must be respected and safeguarded in all societies.

Since the Taliban’s return to power, Afghanistan women and girls have experienced unprecedented limitations on their freedoms, severely restricting participation in public, economic, and social life.

Human rights organizations have repeatedly called on the global community to exert diplomatic pressure and provide humanitarian support to restore women’s access to education, employment, and security.

Analysts warn that prolonged restrictions could have long-term negative effects on Afghanistan women’s health, socio-economic opportunities, and the broader development of the country.

Mohammed reiterated that international collaboration and immediate intervention are crucial to prevent further erosion of women’s rights and ensure equal opportunities in Afghanistan.

Millions of Afghanistan women and girls face severe restrictions on education, work, safety, and mobility, raising urgent calls for global action and protection.
