UK Emphasizes Support for Afghan Women and Girls

On Sunday (December 15), Falconer announced his meeting with a group of Afghan students from the American University of Afghanistan in Doha.

He discussed the challenges faced by young Afghans and their aspirations for the future during this meeting. He stated: "I had the honor of meeting young Afghans studying in Doha. We discussed the challenges they face and their aspirations for the future."

Falconer also noted that the UK plans to provide around 14 billion Afghanis in aid to Afghanistan by March 2025.

The British official condemned the Taliban’s ban on girls attending health institutes, describing the decision as "short-sighted" and warning that such measures pose serious risks to Afghan women and their future livelihoods.

It is worth noting that the UK is among the countries that have referred the Taliban’s violations of Afghan women’s rights to the International Criminal Court.
