The Independent Human Rights Commission of Afghanistan in exile, in a statement on the occasion of International Women’s Solidarity Day, deplored the situation of women under the control of the Taliban and said that Afghanistan has turned into a full-fledged psychological torture center, a place of gender apartheid and a huge mourning house for women.
In part of this statement, this commission supported women’s civil protests in the streets and closed places and asked other human rights institutions and governments committed to respecting human rights to stand by the protesting women of Afghanistan.
In another part of this declaration, it is stated: “The Independent Human Rights Commission of Afghanistan requests the United Nations and countries committed to women’s human rights to put more pressure on the Taliban to release the protesting women and girls as soon as possible. The restrictive and oppressive orders of the self-proclaimed Taliban government regarding women should be canceled. Girls and women can achieve the right to education, the right to employment, the right to access health services, the right to travel without fear, the right to participate in culture, the right to benefit from humanitarian aid and other indisputable human rights.”
The Independent Human Rights Commission of Afghanistan, whose offices were closed with the arrival of the Taliban and now operates remotely, has also said that women and girls with disabilities in Afghanistan, in addition to other restrictions on women, suffer from the lack of attention to their disability status and access to welfare services.
