The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) has erased women from Afghanistan’s self-portrait, Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong said on Friday.Speaking at the UN General Assembly in New York, Wong said that “effectively imprisoning half their society’s population immediately halves their country’s potential.”“Any country that wants to develop fully must encourage the full participation of all its people,” she said.The top Australian diplomat reminded that Australia has taken legal action with Canada, Germany and the Netherlands which could see all four countries take the IEA to the International Court of Justice (ICJ).The Islamic Emirate has rejected the violation of women’s rights in the country and has emphasized that it respects the rights of all citizens, especially women, in accordance with the Sharia laws and is committed to ensuring it.The Islamic Emirate also considers women’s rights to be an internal issue of the country.The post IEA has erased women from Afghanistan’s self-portrait: Australian FM first appeared on Ariana News.
