Imran Khan, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, has been chastised around the world for making misogynistic remarks about Afghan women at the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) members’ recent summit.
According to Al Arabiya Post, attendees from Western nations who attended the meeting could not have missed Imran Khan’s remark that “not educating girls is part of Afghan tradition.”
The Pakistan Prime Minister has also been ridiculed at home and abroad, according to the media outlet, particularly by the Afghans for whom he professes to speak. Some foreign ministers of Islamic countries who represent more enlightened and evolved societies are likely to find his remark offensive.
Pakistan, in particular, wanted the international community to help Afghans escape the agony and “humanitarian catastrophe” that has accelerated since the Taliban regained power.
According to Human Rights Watch, 2021 will be the worst year for Afghan women since the Taliban took control of the country and rolled back their rights.
According to Tolo News, Human Rights Watch has designated 2021 as an unfavourable year for women, “mostly due to Afghanistan.” Heather Barr, the Associate Director of Human Rights Watch’s women’s rights division, claimed on Tuesday that the “Taliban” has limited Afghan women’s access to their rights.
The Taliban has outlawed the use of photographs of women on stores in Kabul city, a decision that might further degrade the Taliban’s image in the international arena.
According to Tolo News, the government has ordered the municipality’s authorities to remove any photos of women from shop and business centre signboards in Kabul, according to Nematullah Barakzai, the spokesman for the Kabul municipality.
“Photos that are against Islamic norms will be collected or removed from billboards based on the government’s decision,” Barakzai stated.
Women’s rights have been a source of contention for the Islamic Emirate both inside and beyond Afghanistan.
