The “World Solidarity with Afghan Women and Girls” meeting is held in New York

A meeting called “World solidarity with Afghan women and girls” was held on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly to remove the prohibitions and restrictions imposed by the Taliban.
In this meeting, a number of women’s rights activists, diplomats of some countries of the world and Thomas West, the special envoy of the United States for Afghanistan, were present.
The US Special Envoy for Afghanistan said in this meeting: “We must continue to support UNAMA. They achieved important results in both 2022 and 2023. We must ensure that they have strong human rights and government support, and we must also support the work of Richard Bennett, the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights.”
Fouzia Kofi, a member of the negotiating team of the previous government, said that the world should prove its support for the people, especially the women and girls of Afghanistan.
Kofi added: “For you Afghanistan is a goal or a mission, for us this is our country. Please bear with us, sometimes we get angry, sometimes we get angry, sometimes we lose our hope. We lost everything. Now it’s up to you to stand on the right side of history, not only in words, but in action.”
Habiba Sarabi, another participant of this meeting, said that the normalization of gender apartheid in Afghanistan should be stopped.
A number of foreign envoys and officials and officials of human rights organizations called for an immediate end to the restrictions on Afghan women and girls.
In the past two years, the Taliban linked strict restrictions on women and girls with religious values, contrary to the opinion of the majority of religious scholars, including the delegation of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation
