Window of Hope Women's Movement calls to support women in Afghanistan
Members of the Window of Hope Women’s Movement, an Afghan women’s rights group, released a video on Monday, calling on the international community and human rights organizations to support women in Afghanistan.
News Center- The members of the Window of Hope Women’s Movement, an Afghan women’s rights group, released a video on Monday to mark the third year of the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan.
In the video, the members of the movement call on all the people of Afghanistan, the international community, human rights organizations, feminist movements and human rights defenders to support the women of Afghanistan on August 15.
“We will raise our voices for human rights. Let’s stand with all our capacity alongside the women of Afghanistan.”
Referring to the resistance against the Taliban and their policies, the women say, “Let’s uphold human dignity and human rights values in the country by resisting the systematic violation of women’s rights being committed by the Taliban.”
Since the Taliban took control of the country, daily life has become an absolute hell for the people of Afghanistan, especially women, the video says. “Terrorist groups have expanded their activities under the shadow of the illegitimate Taliban government, and there is no guarantee for the security of the region and the world.”
The Taliban have issued over 200 decrees and orders that violate human rights and women's rights since August 2021. Afghan women and girls face restrictions on their fundamental rights to education, work, and access to health services.
