The violation of the extremist movement of women and girls in Afghanistan prompted the United States to announce on Tuesday that it has placed further sanctions on the Taliban.
On the tenth year of International Girl’s Day, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinkkin released the following statement: “Today, it was announced that limits on awarding visas…
for the present, past Taliban militants and other accountable parties or collaborators in the use of restraints and violence to repress women and girls in Afghanistan.
The Taliban’s return from this decision, he continued, is “a year ago, the only country in the world in which girls are forbidden from going to school in a systematic method after the sixth grade, without waving any date on the horizon.”
Since the United States withdrew from Afghanistan and the Taliban retook control of Kabul on August 15, 2021, the hard-line Islamic movement has barred students in the country from returning to their secondary and additional institutions. On the other side, the movement enabled college students to finish their coursework within stringent guidelines. The education of girls is considered A very sensitive case in Afghanistan.
Blinken said in his statement, “We call on other governments to join us in taking similar measures and continue to emphasise a collective message that the Afghan government that can be considered legitimate is the one that represents all of its people and protects and strengthens human rights for everyone.
”
The United States “strongly supports the Afghan people” and “remains committed to doing everything in its power to defend and strengthen the fundamental liberties and rights of all Afghans, including women and girls,” he continued.
It took the Taliban a few weeks to enforce its rigid interpretation of Islamic law, which included placing severe restrictions on women and girls in the nation to keep them out of public life.
According to the findings released by the United Nations Mission to Help in Afghanistan, at least 53 people were killed at the end of September, including at least 46 girls and young women, in a suicide attack targeting a school that was jam-packed with students in a Kabul neighbourhood whose residents are members of the Shiite Hazara minority.
US sanctions have been added against the Taliban for obstructing women’s rights in Afghanistan.
