In a resolute stand against the oppressive Taliban regime, members of the 'Afghanistan Women’s Justice Movement' gathered in Oslo, Norway, on the 'International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.' The assembly, attended by prominent parliamentarians, writers, and human rights activists, addressed the severe impact of the Taliban’s rule on human rights, women’s rights, and civil liberties in Afghanistan.
Expressing deep concern, the movement highlighted the regressive impact of the Taliban’s rule on the hard-won progress in human and women's rights in Afghanistan. The strict restrictions imposed by the Taliban, including the closure of schools for girls and the prohibition of women working in various institutions, have been widely criticized as gender apartheid by human rights advocates.
The women's movement voiced their protest against the international community's silence, criticizing countries claiming to support human rights for legitimizing the Taliban rule. They argue that this silence amounts to ignoring the complete eradication of women's presence in Afghanistan, a stark contradiction to global efforts towards gender equality.
Urging the international community to support their cause, the movement called for renewed efforts, amplified voices, and the development of strategies to eliminate violence against women by 2030. They emphasized the moral obligation of the global community to exert pressure on the Taliban, urging them to uphold human rights and end misogynistic practices. The 'Afghanistan Women’s Justice Movement' stands as a beacon of hope and resilience, reminding the world of the power of collective action in challenging times.
