United Nations Deputy Secretary-General Amina J. Mohammed has expressed serious concern about the state of women’s human rights in Afghanistan.
In a post on her X account, Mohammed said that millions of women and girls in Afghanistan are facing severe restrictions on their fundamental rights, including access to education, employment, personal security and freedom of movement.
She warned that the international community must not turn a blind eye to these violations, underscoring that women’s rights are human rights everywhere.
Taliban officials, however, have repeatedly insisted that women’s rights in Afghanistan are safeguarded within the framework of Islamic law and that women live with dignity and honour.
