Let’s not forget the girls and women of Afghanistan

White paper signed by a collective (see below)

On the occasion of International Women’s Day, 8 March, we European women wish to express our full and total support to Afghan women and to all those who fight in the world for their rights and dignity to be respected. Indeed, international solidarity is a requirement. Especially in these terrible times when the war is hitting Ukraine hard with dramatic consequences: civilians are dying, some are displaced while others find themselves prisoners in their besieged and bombed cities. War does not serve the interest of any people in the world. In such circumstances, Europe must act vigorously and assume its responsibilities at the international level. Unfortunately, and as always, women find themselves prisoners of armed conflicts.
