۴۶٪ زنان متاهل افغان با خشونت فزیکی، ۳۴٪ با خشونت روانی و ۶٪ با خشونت جنسی مواجه هستند. مردان نقش حیاتی در پایان دادن به این خشونت دارند. (Source: WHO)

The ban on women’s medical education is already having terrible effects, especially on the health of Afghan women and children. The Taliban should lift it immediately.

[UK for Afghanistan @UK4Afghanistan]

Afghanistan has the 7th highest maternal mortality rate globally (WHO). On International Day of the Midwife, it’s a powerful reminder: lifting the female medical education ban is essential to saving lives. #UK4Afghanistan

As another new school year starts in #Afghanistan, 400,000 more girls will be denied education, making a total of 2.2 million. This is a tragedy for them and their country. Education is a right not a privilege. We urge the Taliban to lift the ban. #EducationForAll

[Robert C Dickson @RCDicksonUK]

Very important to maintain international focus on the vital issue of the rights of women and girls in Afghanistan.

[UK in NL 🇬🇧🇳🇱 @ukinnl]

Pleased to reunite w/ 🇬🇧 Chargé d'Affairs @RCDicksonUK & colleagues in Kabul recently. Discussed shared interests in AFG and appreciated the UK’s recent $13.9M investment in flexible core funding for UNDP - vital amid multiple global crises and complex development challenges.

[Hamish Falconer MP @HFalconerMP]

Great to see Afghanistan’s exiled women’s cricket team have played their first match since fleeing the Taliban in 2021 and I’m glad the FCDO was represented at the match.

We won’t forget Afghan women.

[Anneliese Dodds @AnnelieseDodds]

Devastated to see yet another International Day of Education pass Afghan women and girls by.

The Taliban must recognise that Afghanistan’s future can only thrive with the freedom to learn for all its people.

Education is a right, not a privilege. #EducationDay

[Robert C Dickson @RCDicksonUK]

We had a candid and respectful discussion. I stressed that the reintegration of Afghanistan into the international community would bring great opportunities, but need to be based on changes to human rights and governance as set out in the UN Independent Assessment and UNSCR 2721

[ارگ - ARG @ARG_1880]

محترم مولوی ذاکر الله ذاکر رئیس ع��ومی دفتر معاونیت سیاسی ریاست الوزراء امروز با رابرت دیکسن شارژدافیر سفارت بریتانیا برای افغانستان دیدار کرد.

[Robert C Dickson @RCDicksonUK]

@ARG_1880 We had a frank and respectful discussion. I stressed that Afghanistan’s reintegration into the international community would bring great opportunities, but need real change in human rights, especially for women, as set out in the UN Independent Assessment and UNSCR 2721

[Hamish Falconer MP @HFalconerMP]

Defending Afghan women and girls’ rights is one of our top priorities.

That’s why I brought together key individuals and the UN to discuss how we ensure what we are doing is in the best interest of all Afghans.

[Robert C Dickson @RCDicksonUK]

Important response to worsening Taliban oppression of Afghan women and girls

[Anneliese Dodds @AnnelieseDodds]

Women and girls are facing brutal discrimination in Afghanistan at the hands of the Taliban.

Working with international partners we will support action to hold the those responsible to account.

[Robert C Dickson @RCDicksonUK]
