KABUL (SW) – The Movement for Change party of Afghanistan has called on the Islamic Emirate officials to grant women their right to education and employment.
Marking the Women’s Day, the members of this party told a press conference that after the recent developments, the problems of women have increased and they have lost their basic rights.
Concerned about the situation of women, Ms. Zarifa, a member of the Movement for Change party, said that women should be given the same right to work, study and move freely as in the past years.
She believed that the role of women in the political system can help with justice and the rule of law.
Meanwhile, Swetha Sherzad, another member of the Movement for Change party, called for the creation of a single commission to demand justice for women. She said the commission should be led by women.
The Movement for Change party insisted on the elimination of anti-women ideology by the Islamic Emirate.
The imposition of restrictions on women by the Islamic Emirate has already drawn national and international criticism.
A number of international organizations have warned that stability in Afghanistan would not be possible without the presence of women in all spheres of life.
