Kabul: More than 70 countries, including the European Union, expressed concern about the ban on Afghan women and girls’ access to education and work in Afghanistan in a joint statement on Sunday.
According to the statement, banning Afghan women’s work in domestic and foreign non-governmental organizations would deny millions of Afghans access to humanitarian relief.
The Afghan interim government has not made any statements regarding the newsletter. However, it has often been underlined that the ban on Afghan women’s education and work is temporary.
Last week during women’s day, the special envoy for Afghanistan, Roza Otunbayeva, expressed her concern about Afghan women’s access to education and work amid the humanitarian crisis.
On the other hand, the organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) recently announced that a team of distinguished Islamic Scholars would be sent to Afghanistan to discuss women’s right to education and work with the Taliban authorities from Islam’s point of view.
