The UAE has reaffirmed its commitment to promoting and protecting the rights of women and children in Afghanistan, as stated in a joint statement with the US. Lana Nusseibeh, the assistant foreign minister for political affairs of the UAE, met with Rina Amiri, the US special envoy for Afghan Women, Girls, and Human Rights, to discuss the situation of women and girls in Afghanistan. Both countries emphasized the importance of these issues for a sustainable and economically viable Afghanistan.

In their joint statement, the UAE and the US emphasized the need for collective support and resources to enhance the lives of Afghan women and children. They specifically identified education, health services, livelihood, and entrepreneurship opportunities as areas that require attention and improvement. Additionally, they discussed the significance of providing humanitarian assistance to the people of Afghanistan through development projects and reconstruction efforts.

The recent ratification of a morality law by the Taliban authorities in Afghanistan has raised concerns among international organizations, including the UN. The law imposes strict restrictions on women, requiring them to cover their faces and bodies when leaving the house, and ensuring that their voices are not heard, among other provisions. The UN has criticized these restrictions, highlighting the impact on women’s rights and freedoms in the country.

According to the UN’s cultural agency, at least 1.4 million girls in Afghanistan have been deprived of access to secondary education since the Taliban regained power in 2021. This lack of educational opportunities for girls further exacerbates the challenges faced by Afghan women and highlights the need for continued support and advocacy for gender equality and women’s rights in the country.

The joint efforts of the UAE and the US to address the issues facing women and children in Afghanistan demonstrate a commitment to promoting human rights and gender equality in the region. By prioritizing education, health services, and economic opportunities for Afghan women and children, these countries are working towards a more inclusive and equitable society. It is essential for the international community to support these initiatives and advocate for the rights and freedoms of women and children in Afghanistan.

The collaboration between the UAE and the US reflects a shared commitment to empowering women and children in Afghanistan and ensuring their access to essential services and opportunities. By working together to address the challenges facing Afghan women and children, these countries are taking steps towards creating a more stable and prosperous future for all individuals in the region. It is crucial for governments and organizations worldwide to prioritize the promotion and protection of human rights, particularly for vulnerable populations such as women and children in conflict-affected countries like Afghanistan.
