The Kabul Tribune (KT) – Isabelle Rome, France’s Ambassador for Human Rights, said that Afghan women are not victims, but survivors and fighters, and they must be included in decisions regarding the future of their country.
During a meeting with several Afghan women activists, she emphasized that France stands with the women of Afghanistan and rejects any dialogue with the Taliban.
According to Isabelle Rome, the laws imposed by the Taliban—more than 120 in total—have restricted women’s fundamental rights and excluded them from participation in society.
She also added that France, together with several other countries, has called for arrest warrants against Taliban leaders from the International Criminal Court and supported the creation of an investigative mechanism to document the crimes committed.
Meanwhile, the Taliban continue to enforce strict bans and restrictions on women’s education, work, and social, economic, and sports activities.
