KABUL (SW) – Since the re-establishment of the Islamic Emirate in Afghanistan and the collapse of the republic, the situation of Afghan women and their right to work and education has always been a matter of concern, and many efforts have been made inside and outside the country in order to take it improve it, but to no avail.
Women’s rights activists in Afghanistan want to change the approach in terms of convincing the Islamic Emirate in terms of women’s right to work and education. They say that efforts to persuade the Islamic Emirate to respect women’s rights have been unsuccessful.
Frouzan Davoudzi, one of the female protestors and women’s rights activists, told Salam Watandar that from now on they will change their strategy. “From now on, instead of starting a demonstration, we have a plan to go to the elders of the Islamic Emirate and go to them according to a traditional custom and erect a tent and demand our rights.”
In the same way, women’s rights activists in the country also criticize the approach of the international community in relation to the status of women in the last 18 months, and they ask the world to change its behavior in respect of women’s rights.
Shamail Tawana, another female protester and women’s rights activist, said: “Although we are disappointed with their actions, we want the countries of the world to stand more seriously with Afghan women and for their rights.”
While there are less than three weeks left until the beginning of the new academic year, there is no news about the reopening of schools and universities for girls.
Nazifa, a student at Kabul University, said: “Our university should start, but there is still no news, we students are left with no hope.”
Samira, a student of one of the private universities in Kabul, said in this regard the day the university was closed, their hopes were crushed. “The girls had tried, they had studied for several semesters.”
It should be noted that the international community has always warned that not respecting women’s right to work and education can have a negative impact on the economic situation and the provision of humanitarian aid in Afghanistan.
