5 years after the Taliban takeover, repression of women & girls has become systemic in #Afghanistan. Germany joined the stakeout calling on the Taliban to reverse discriminatory policies, restore girls‘ access to education & ensure women’s participation in society.
Denmark, on behalf of 56 countries, delivered a statement marking 5 years since the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan.   Today, we renew our commitment to keeping Afghanistan high on the international agenda, to working through the UN, and to standing with the Afghan people.
