In a statement released by the movement, they declared:
"The terrorist group Taliban, by banning women from medical sciences, has once again revealed its detestable and extremist face. We, the members of the Spontaneous Movement of Women Fighters in Afghanistan, as part of the community, express our deepest and most intense hatred and disgust against the inhumane actions and decrees of the Taliban regime."

The statement further emphasized that "the Taliban, through violence and discrimination against women, ethnic-religious minorities, and other marginalized groups, are carrying out gender apartheid and insidious acts of genocide."
