AVA Media: on the eve of the third Doha meeting on Afghanistan affairs, Human Right Watch called this meeting an opportunity to stand by women of Afghanistan.

In a report, this international Human Rights Watch has requested that the Taliban be dealt with decisively in the upcoming Doha meeting on human rights. In this report, it is stated that the Taliban's restrictions in the field of education began with the banning of girls above the sixth grade of school and then led to the closing of universities.

Human Rights Watch has called this situation of women in Afghanistan the most serious women's rights crisis in the world and international experts have named it as "gender apartheid". This institution has stated that Afghan women have a clear position on what should be done, that the international community should hold the Taliban accountable for their crimes against women and girls.

This institution has also emphasized that countries should not give seats to the Taliban in the United Nations or invite them to the meetings of the United Nations. It is also added that no one should lift the regime's sanctions until there is a confirmed improvement in human rights, especially women's rights.

Referring to the 1000-day deprivation of girls from education, Heather Bar, and other experts at Human Rights Watch, said that the artists, doctors, poets and engineers who were lost during this period cannot be replaced. At the same time, the Human Rights Watch has said that the absence of girls and women from secondary and university education is a disaster and preventing the participation of half of the population in the society hinders progress.

At the end of June, the special representatives of the countries are supposed to meet at Doha and discuss the approach of the international community towards Afghanistan.
