US Envoy Pans Taliban Over Women’s Rights Denial; Bats For Girls’ Education In Afghanistan
Special US envoys for Afghan women turn to the Taliban because they make false promises about the education of girls. Rina Amiri’s statement came during the iftar dinner attended by the Head of the US Protocol, Rufus Gifford, and the ambassador from several Muslim -majority countries.
Bringing to Twitter, Amiri said that the Muslim world must fight for the rights of women and daughters of Afghanistan. He wrote, “Cohosted dinner iftar with @us_protocol & ambassador from several Muslim majority countries. Agree that the Muslim world must fight for the rights of women & daughters of Afghanistan. The Taliban policy that denies the education of girls & women is not seen in anything other majority Muslim countries. “
He stressed that the Taliban policy that denied education and work for girls and women was unusual in other Muslim -majority countries, except Afghanistan.
He appealed to guests and other international communities to advance to Afghan women in getting their fundamental rights. Bringing to Twitter, he wrote, “Discussing challenges in Afghanistan with Nordic partners, including the prohibition of the return of girls to schools and attacks targeting hazarras. Agreeing the importance of unity in pushing the Taliban to reopen the school and demand protection of all Afghanistan, especially ethnic minorities and religion. “
In March, the Afghan government led by the Taliban announced it would close the school door for girls outside the sixth grade. Previously, it was announced that education in Afghanistan would be available for all. However, two days later, the Afghan government took a round of his decision and ordered the school not to recognize girls outside the sixth grade.
It needs to be mentioned after taking over the leadership of the state, the Taliban made a high claim that showed that they had changed fully compared to the previous regime. The extremist group promised to allow education and work for women.However, instead of fulfilling their promises, the Taliban banned women from educational institutions and work. Since the terrible takeover in August last year, women throughout the country have taken to the streets to protest the closure of schools and colleges.
Recently, the Taliban Ministry of Education (MOE) said the group was close to a solution to reopen schools for girls. Apart from all this, the Taliban regime has not taken concrete steps to restore basic rights.
