United States of America Y 11 allies condemned the Taliban’s veto over women’s access to universities in Afghanistan and demanded an “immediate end” to the repressive measures.
The text was signed by the foreign minister of United States, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Spain and United Kingdomas well as European Union (EU).
The signatories “loudly” condemned the new taliban policy to ban female entry to universities last Tuesday, a new move after vetoing women’s access to secondary schools.
They criticize that over the past 16 months the Taliban regime in power in Afghanistan, after the withdrawal of US troops, has issued at least 16 decrees that limit women’s rights. They gave examples of the prohibition on working and using public spaces, as well as the obligation to cover oneself from head to toe. Despite promises that they have changed, the Taliban have repeated the behavior of their previous regime between 1996 and 2001, when based on their rigid interpretation of Islam and their strict social code known as the Pashtunwali, they banned girls from attending schools and imprisoned them in jails.
