On Sunday, August 17, in a television interview, she described the current situation of Afghan women as “the deepest women’s rights crisis in the world,” which is being normalized.


Ferguson stated that during this period, the Taliban, through issuing dozens of decrees, have restricted and violated the rights and dignity of Afghan women and girls. According to her, this trend has deprived an entire generation of girls of their rights, which is not only a tragedy for them and their families but also a major disaster for the entire country.


She described the implementation of the “Promotion of Virtue” law as a turning point in the systematic elimination of women from public spaces and added: “We must support all Afghan women and girls.”


The UN representative also noted that Afghan women and girls feel unsafe in public spaces and even within their own families, and they have not benefited from the “relative improvement in security following the Taliban’s takeover.”


She emphasized the need to support women’s non-governmental organizations, provide job opportunities, and ensure a strong presence of Afghan women in international dialogues.


Ferguson had previously stated that the restrictions imposed on Afghan women are an issue that extends beyond Afghanistan’s borders.


The United Nations had earlier announced that the Taliban, during their four years of rule, have issued nearly 100 restrictive decrees against women.

Susan Ferguson, the UN Special Representative on Women’s Affairs in Afghanistan, says that women have been deprived of all their rights and human dignity during the four years of Taliban rule.
