Rina Amiri: Economic stability and peace are not possible without supporting women’s rights
The US Special Representative for Women and Human Rights has said that the Taliban’s argument that the ban on girls’ education is based on Afghan culture is not acceptable.
Rina Amiri, the US special representative for women and human rights, wrote in a tweet that she emphasized at the Tashkent conference on Afghanistan that security, economic stability and peace without supporting women’s rights, ending abuse against all ethnic and religious communities and strengthening an inclusive political process is not possible.
He added: I disagreed with the claim that the Taliban’s regressive policies are based on Afghan culture and argued that most Afghans wish for education, work and opportunities for a better future for their sons and daughters.
According to him, most of the participants of this meeting demanded an inclusive political process in Afghanistan and none of them expressed their support for the recognition of the Taliban.
Meanwhile, the Uzbek side, which hosted this meeting, also announced that the presence of the Taliban delegation in this meeting does not mean the recognition of the regime of this group.
It should be noted that nearly 11 months have passed since the Taliban came to power in Afghanistan, but the government of this group has not been recognized by any country.
