Previously, Deputy Spokesman of the Islamic Emirate, Inamullah Samangani by pointing to the women’s rights had considered the UN’s claim saying that the IEA was not addressing the rights of women as negative propaganda.
According to the IEA deputy spokesperson, the Islamic Emirate is committed to the rights of all citizens of Afghanistan both men and women and their rights to work and get education have been organized within the Islamic sharia.
The issue of women’s rights and their physical presence in governmental and non-governmental institutions and social, economic and political activities is one of the preconditions for the recognition of the Islamic Emirate by the international community, the United Nations and other powerful countries in the world and region.
Efforts for improvement of women’s life conditions and providing facilities for their effective presence is a need and to achieve it comprehensive steps should be taken. Closing the doors of girls’ schools has been followed by widespread reactions.
The Islamic Emirate has promised to soon let girls’ schools reopen in the country.
This comes amid efforts that are underway for reopening of girls’ schools in the country. After the meeting of religious ulamas with the IEA Supreme Leader in Kandahar, Kabul governor who was also among the ulama has said that various key issues including problems of women and respecting women’s rights within the framework of sharia were discussed.
