Former Afghan minister: Taliban want women to live as second-class citizens

 

The Netherlands and the rest of the international community must continue to work for women in Afghanistan. That is the opinion of the former Afghan minister of Women's Affairs Massouda Jalal. From the Netherlands, she sounds the alarm for women in her home country. Thanks to her contacts with women's rights organizations in the Netherlands, she was able to be evacuated fairly soon after the fall of Kabul. If the world looks away and does not put pressure on the Taliban, Afghanistan will once again turn into a country where women are invisible, she tells the NOS. Interview set up by WO=MEN.
