The U.S. Embassy for Afghanistan, operating from Qatar, has stated that injustice against women in Afghanistan is a threat to global justice.
On Saturday, December 14, the embassy issued a statement on its X page, stating that the restrictions imposed by the Taliban on women threaten the principles of justice and equality worldwide.
The US Embassy, operating from Qatar, the embassy quoted Nobel laureate Martin Luther King Jr., saying, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
The embassy emphasized the need to unite for change and demand justice and equality for all.
This comes as the Taliban, in their latest move, have closed health institutes to girls and women.
This action has completely restricted women’s access to medical education and their participation in the health sector, worsening the crisis of the shortage of female healthcare workers in Afghanistan.
The continued oppression of women under the Taliban regime not only undermines human rights in Afghanistan but also has far-reaching consequences for global justice. It highlights the need for the international community to act in solidarity to address these systemic injustices.
As the Taliban’s restrictions on women’s education and employment intensify, it is crucial for global organizations to continue advocating for the rights of women in Afghanistan, working toward tangible change to ensure their access to education, healthcare, and equal opportunities.
