European Parliament: End Gender Apartheid in Afghanistan!

The European Parliament voted in favor of a resolution that emphasizes support for women and those affected by the recent earthquakes in Afghanistan.

In this resolution, it criticizes the lack of access for Afghan women to their rights, particularly their ability to work in the humanitarian aid sector.

Members of the European Parliament state that this very “gender apartheid” in Afghanistan has contributed to higher casualties among girls and women in earthquake-affected areas.
