Criticizing the Taliban group, the Canadian government says that women and girls have been imprisoned in their homes for the past three years and have no hope for the future.
At the same time as the third year of the collapse of the republic in Afghanistan and the re-emergence of the Taliban group, the Canadian government has said in a statement today (Thursday, 25 August) that the behavior of the Taliban group towards women and girls is terrible.
In this statement, it is stated that this group has widely violated the rights of women and girls in the last three years and they have not made any efforts in the field of education, health services and social justice.
The statement said: “Under the Taliban, ethnic and religious minorities and other vulnerable groups continue to face violence and marginalization. This includes persistent persecution and violence targeting Hazaras, Ahmadis, Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, and LGBTQ persons. Peaceful protests are met with arbitrary and brutal arrests, and the country has once again become a safe haven for terrorist groups, with dire consequences for Afghanistan, regional stability, and international security.
The Canadian government has said in this statement that the country has provided $243 million for humanitarian aid in Afghanistan from 2021 to now and $108 million for supporting the basic needs, health, education and rights of women and girls. and empowerment in Afghanistan.
In the statement of the Canadian government, it is also stated that this country is with girls, women and with all the people of Afghanistan and that this country is working on human rights issues in Afghanistan.
This is despite the fact that the Taliban have imposed many restrictions on the country’s citizens, especially girls and women, during their three years of domination over Afghanistan.
Today, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) also published a report saying that at the same time as the Taliban regime in Afghanistan has been three years old, this group has deliberately deprived 1.4 million girls of education.
