Zan News: During a session of the British Parliament held on Tuesday (25 February), the Taliban's treatment of women and girls in Afghanistan was strongly criticized.

Anneliese Dodds, the UK Minister for Women and Equalities, highlighted the negative impacts of the Taliban's policies on the lives of Afghan women and girls, stating, "We are determined to support Afghan girls and women."

Condemning the "appalling" behavior of the Taliban towards this segment of society, she emphasized, "The Taliban must revoke their barbaric decrees, and we are working seriously with international partners to maintain collective pressure."

Dodds also stressed the necessity of applying intense political pressure on the Taliban and expressed satisfaction with the UK's support for the initiative to refer Afghanistan's case to the International Court of Justice.

During the session, Wendy Morton, a member of the British Parliament, described the Taliban's treatment of Afghan women and girls as "abhorrent" and called for increased pressure on the group.

It is worth noting that 24 other countries had previously announced that if the Taliban do not revise their policies against Afghan women, they would refer the matter to the International Court of Justice in The Hague.
