Afghanistan Women Protest
Afghanistan: Demonstrators protest in Kabul, demand for women's access to education, work
Kabul: A large number of women demonstrated in Afghanistan capital city Kabul on Saturday where they demanded for women’s access to education and work.
Several of the protesters belonged to the Movement of Change for Afghanistan Party (MoCAP).
The participants took to the streets of the capital city, urging the Islamic Emirate to establish a commission to address the current challenges against women in the country, reports Tolo News.
“We call on the Islamic Emirate to support us and let us go to work,” Zarifa Yaqobi, a member of the MoCAP, told Tolo News.
“When the commission is established—it can help us by being an address to solve our problems, thus we can reach our goals,” said Sweeta, a member of MoCAP.
During the demonstration, the participants issued a resolution through which they expressed their concerns about arbitrary detentions by the Islamic Emirate.
