New York: Justice for violators of women’s rights in Afghanistan remains difficult to understand and the law aimed at providing legal protection to women becomes ineffective because the Taliban make more territorial increases throughout the country, said Human Rights Watch (HRW) on Thursday.
When the Taliban made territorial profits in Afghanistan because of the withdrawal of US troops, the current Afghanistan state, and women’s rights, in particular, under threat, said those rights.
The 32-page report by HRW, “‘I think our lives are getting better’: Implementing the elimination of Afghan violence against women’s law,” highlighting the experience of Afghanistan women in their efforts to pursue justice against family members and those responsible for violence.
, The rights group found that the limited enforcement of the elimination of landmarks of violence against women (Evaw) has left many women and daughters without the path for main protection and justice.
With the Taliban making a sweeping territorial profit, the prospect of the Taliban dominated government also threatens the protection of constitutional and international law for the fundamental rights of Afghan women.
“The benefits of the Taliban forces because the United States completes the withdrawal of his troops leaving the current Afghan State, and women’s rights in particular, uncertain,” HRW said.
Back in 2009, the Afghan government issued the elimination of violence against women (Evaw Law) through presidential decrites to promote human rights and specifically women’s rights.
The Law Evaw made 22 abuse acts on female criminal violations, including rape, forced marriages, and forbade a woman or a woman to go to school or work.
Although less than expectations, it introduced the formation and expansion of legal assistance groups and training of cadres of female lawyers, prosecutors and judges, which resulted in increased legal protection for women.
“But when the opposition group, the Taliban, has made a territorial increase, the prospect of the Taliban-dominated government or offspring into a fragmented civil war threatens the existing constitutional order, including provisions that guarantee the equality of women and the law of Evaw,” HRW said.
