Amina Mohammed, Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations, has said that millions of women and girls in Afghanistan are facing severe restrictions on access to their basic rights, including education, employment, security, and freedom of movement.
Mohammed wrote on Sunday, January 4, on X that the world must not remain indifferent to these violations of the rights of women and girls, and that effective measures must be taken to support them.
She stressed that women’s rights are an inseparable part of human rights and must be respected and protected everywhere.
This comes as women and girls in Afghanistan have been deprived of their most fundamental rights since the Taliban returned to power.
