Abuse of Women’s Human Rights in Afghanistan
(1998, No. 10)

that the IFUW Board of Officers write to the UN Secretary General, the High Commissioner on Human Rights, the director General of UNESCO, the Executive Directors of UNICEF and UNFPA commending the action they took in sending a Gender Mission to Afghanistan and urging immediate follow-up action to ensure that women and girls are no longer denied their human rights, particularly with respect to education and health; – that NFAs should contact their own governments to express their concern and to enquire what action they have taken to condemn the denial of human rights to women and girls in Afghanistan and take similar action in other instances where women’s human rights and fundamental freedoms are flagrantly abused.
