Afghan Women’s News Agency – November 20 coincides with International Children’s Day, but there are many children throughout Afghanistan who not only do not have the rights of a child, but also have to do hard work to find a morsel of bread.
On the occasion of International Children’s Day, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) wrote on X social network, “Children have the right to live without discrimination.”
Meanwhile, in a report on the violation of children’s rights in Afghanistan, the human rights organization known as “Rawadari” said that during the two years of Taliban rule, violations of children’s fundamental rights, including forced and early marriages, attempted suicide, and sexual abuse have increased in the country.
After the rule of the Taliban in Afghanistan, many children have been deprived of their rights as children, and due to economic problems and unemployment, girls and boys have been denied the right to education.
Arzoo is a 14-year-old child who was forced into marriage by her father due to poverty. By getting married, she was deprived of her childhood life and games. She can no longer play with her peers because in the eyes of her people, she has become a housewife.
According to the findings of the Tolerance (Rawadari) Institute, widespread poverty, economic problems, women’s deprivation of the right to work and education, and traditions in Afghanistan are the main reasons for the violation of children’s rights in this country.
