UN Women said in a new report that the violation of women&s rights in Afghanistan after August 2021 is unprecedented in its scope and effects and called for urgent global action to end the restrictions imposed on Afghan women.The organization described the situation of women and girls in Afghanistan as having lost forty years of progress in the last three years.According to the report, only one percent of women feel they have influence in society, and almost all other women have spoken of not having a choice and losing their authority and influence.&The current situation in Afghanistan presents unprecedented challenges for gender equality at the global level.
Since August 2021, the Taliban (Islamic Emirate) have systematically destroyed Afghanistan&s legal and institutional infrastructure, particularly targeting those who have supported gender equality and advances in women&s empowerment,& the report read.The organization linked the educational restrictions on women and girls in Afghanistan with maternal mortality and said that the exclusion of 1.1 million girls from school and the banning of more than 100,000 more from studying at universities has had devastating effects on the current generation.However, the Islamic Emirate has repeatedly said that women&s rights in the country are more protected than ever before and in accordance with Sharia law.Later this month is the Doha meeting and human rights organizations are hoping that the rights of Afghan women are top of the agenda.
No details on the meeting agenda have yet been released.The post UN Women call for global action ‘to end restrictions on Afghan women& first appeared on Ariana News.
