The female foreign ministers of at least seventeen countries across the world held a meeting on Afghanistan and expressed deep concerns about human rights violations and restrictions against women inside Afghanistan.
At a virtual meeting hosted by Australia, the ministers called on the Islamic Emirate to lift all restrictions, especially education barriers, against Afghan women.
A statement released after the meeting said: “Ministers expressed deep concern about human rights violations, especially the denial of women and girls from full access and participation in education…It is essential that the Taliban lifts all barriers and prohibitions against the full participation of women and girls in genuine education and schooling.”
The participants at the meeting agreed to continue close monitoring of the Islamic Emirate’s actions, especially actions related to women and girls.—Reuters
