The “Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security” and the Oslo Peace Research Institute have published a joint report stating that Afghanistan under the control of the caretaker government is the “worst” country for women and girls.
IntelliNews today (Tuesday, 13 Sanblah) quoted the findings of this report and wrote that Afghanistan ranks last among 177 countries in terms of the status of women in the index of women, peace and security in the world.
The “Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security” and the Oslo Peace Research Institute have examined the situation of women in 13 indicators, including justice and security, education, maternal mortality, employment, systematic violence, and gender-based violence.
The report states that the authors made this point based on several “bitter” examples, including revenge killings of women by the caretaker government and their enforced disappearances.
According to this report, due to the deterioration of health care in Afghanistan under the rule of the current government, this country has the highest rate in the world with about 620 maternal deaths out of 100,000 live births.
Also, in the report, the approved law of commanding the good and prohibiting the evil of the caretaker government is also mentioned and it is said that this group has imposed new restrictions on women.
According to this report, after Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Central Africa and Yemen are the worst countries for women.
Denmark, Switzerland and Sweden are the top three countries in terms of the status of women.
This is despite the fact that the caretaker government has imposed severe restrictions against women for the past three years.
Last year, Afghanistan ranked last among 177 countries in the women’s development sector.
At the same time, this report is published that after the caretaker government returned to power in Afghanistan, girls above the sixth grade were deprived of education and then female students were banned from going to universities.
It must be said that the restrictions of the current government have caused millions of female students to stay away from education.
In addition, women are prohibited from going to sports clubs, restaurants, public baths, examination by male doctors, traveling without Muharram and working in domestic and international non-governmental organizations and even UN offices in Afghanistan.
