KABUL (SW) – In response to the statements of the participants of the Doha meeting regarding the violation of human rights and women’s rights, Acting Minister of Higher Education, Neda Mohammad Nadim said that the Islamic Emirate has paid more attention to ensure women’s rights in Afghanistan.
“In a shameless manner, a meeting was held about Afghanistan, where the situation in Afghanistan is bad and human rights and women’s rights have been violated. Now see the women’s situation, you can see in Afghanistan that no one in the world has provided the respect, rights and honor that the Islamic Emirate has provided,” he said.
Earlier, Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate, has rejected concerns raised in Munich, Germany regarding human rights situation in Afghanistan.
In response to the joint statement of the foreign ministers of 12 countries at the Munich security meeting, he said that the concerns raised in this meeting about the rights of Afghan women are unfounded and that all Afghan citizens have access to their rights.
Mujahid emphasized that Afghan citizens now have decent life, financial and psychological security.
The foreign ministers of 12 countries, in a joint statement expressed concern about the human rights situation in Afghanistan and said that the Islamic Emirate has not made any progress in supporting human rights, especially women’s rights. A part of the statement reads: “By removing half of the Afghan population from public life and political decision-making, the Islamic Emirate endangers the future of Afghanistan.”
The statement added that the Islamic Emirate’s adherence to international obligations, especially human rights, is one of the main prerequisites for the reintegration of Afghanistan into the international system.
