The head of a humanitarian organization has said that Afghan women do not need seminars abroad, but that Western diplomats should return to Afghanistan and fight for their rights.Jan Egeland, the secretary general of the Norwegian Refugee Council told France 24 in an interview broadcast Thursday that only a few European diplomats are traveling to Kabul, that too for a short mission.“They need to go back and stay in Kabul; go to Kandahar; fight with us for women’s rights and non-discrimination in gender basis.
The women of Afghanistan don’t need another seminar in Paris or in Copenhagen or Oslo.
They need that we engage and fight for them in Afghanistan,” Egeland said.He also accused the international community of turning its back on the Afghan people since the Islamic Emirate returned to power in 2021.He said thousands of Afghan refugees who are returning daily from Iran and Pakistan face a life of abandonment.The post Afghan women don’t need seminars abroad, diplomats should go to Kandahar: aid chief first appeared on Ariana News.
