The permanent representative of Afghanistan to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Nasir Ahmad Andisha, on the 75th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), emphasized the importance and support of women's education, work and participation in society.

In a statement at the human rights conference, the world was asked to take steps to support women in Afghanistan.

Meanwhile, the Islamic Emirate commented on the need for a presence of the representative of the Islamic Emirate at s luch conferences.

At the 75th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the permanent representative of Afghanistan to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva emphasized the importance and support of women's education, work and participation in the society in Afghanistan.

In the statement of the UDHR conference, the international community was asked to take necessary measures in the area of human rights violations, especially women's rights in Afghanistan.

The statement said: “The Taliban must reverse their oppressive policies, allowing women in Afghanistan to study, work and engage in society. Their draconian rules, which include denying girls’ education beyond primary level and restricting women’s freedom and employment, have led to a surge in suicides and suicide attempts among women since the Taliban takeover. The gender apartheid is erasing women from society, undermining Afghanistan’s prospects for a peaceful and prosperous future.” 

Meanwhile, the Islamic Emirate, emphasizing the provision of human rights in the country, said that the presence of a representative from Afghanistan in such conferences is a necessity.

"In the case of Afghanistan, if a meeting is held, Afghanistan's presence there is necessary so that Afghanistan's position can be interpreted more accurately," Zabihullah Mujahid said.

But some women activists do not consider such meetings to be fruitful.

"If the meetings were in Afghanistan or outside of Afghanistan, especially with the world and the United Nations, they were only limited to slogans and speeches and were based on a single text; They never wanted to act, they never wanted to be with the people of Afghanistan, especially women. We hope that the world will still hear the voices of the Afghan people, especially the women, and that the government of the Islamic Emirate will also pay attention," said Tafsir Syahposh, a women rights activist.

Earlier, on World Human Rights Day, the UN Secretary General's Special Representative for Afghanistan asked the current officials in Afghanistan to accept and support human rights obligations as the cornerstone of a stable, peaceful and prosperous future for Afghanistan.
