KABUL (Pajhwok): A group of UN human rights experts has said that the leaders of the "Islamic Emirate" in Afghanistan “are institutionalizing discrimination and violence against women and girls”, but the government rejected the claims as propaganda.
The experts on Monday said, “We are concerned about the continuous and systematic efforts to exclude women from the social, economic, and political spheres across the country.”
These concerns are exacerbated in the cases of women from ethnic, religious or linguistic minorities such as the Hazara, Tajik, Hindu and other communities whose differences or visibility make them even more vulnerable in Afghanistan, they . . .
