The group is part of a coalition planning to march on Parliament Hill as part of a global effort to have countries help gather evidence of ‘gender apartheid’
Ahead of the second anniversary of the Taliban takeover of Kabul, Afghan women are asking Canadians to join them in protecting gains in girls’ education and resisting legitimacy for the terrorist group.
The hard-line fundamentalist group took over Afghanistan on Aug. 15, 2021, after the pullout of U.S. troops from a two-decade military mission that had heavy Canadian involvement. This month, the BBC’s Persian service reported that Taliban leaders in certain provinces have expanded a ban on education to girls as young as 10. The Taliban had already banned girls from attending secondary schools.
“It makes me want to stand stronger and fight because they cannot do it from inside, although women have shown so much strength and bravery by resisting the Taliban.” Canada can fund online-learning projects and follow through on its delayed pledge to resettle 40,000 Afghans. Ottawa could also step up in its promise to allow Canadian development groups to help people in Afghanistan, she said.
