Experts appointed by the Human Rights Council said in a statement issued on Monday that this ban on women’s medical training comes at a very critical time, when the country is facing a huge humanitarian crisis and a deteriorating health care infrastructure. This ban will harm Afghanistan. There is a possibility of a serious impact on the health system in India, where treatment and care of women and girls can only be done by female doctors and health workers. According to independent experts, if this new ban is implemented, it will cause an indescribable harm to the health, dignity and future of Afghan women, which can neither be explained nor justified. It has been described as a direct attack on human rights. Since seizing power in Afghanistan in August 2021, the Taliban have been depriving women and girls of their basic rights. There is a crisis on women’s rights. Girls have been excluded from secondary level education and women were already banned from studying in universities. Women and girls are not allowed to go to amusement parks, public bathrooms, gyms, sports clubs. There are restrictions, and the dress code for women and girls in the country is strictly enforced. They are not allowed to travel long distances without a male companion. The Special Rapporteur’s group has warned that this decision will cause unnecessary suffering and illness and the risk of death of women and girls cannot be avoided. Afghanistan has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world and child mortality is also high. This new restriction could have serious health consequences for future generations of Afghan women and girls. Experts have urged the international community to take immediate action in support of Afghan women and girls, so that their basic rights can be protected. and hold the Taleban accountable for its actions.Human Rights ExpertsIndependent human rights experts, or Special Rapporteurs, are responsible for any human rights situation or any Are appointed to monitor the situation in the country and submit reports.
