Canadian Senator Marilou McPhedran emphasized at a special conference in Ottawa that the future of Afghanistan can only be built with the genuine participation of its people. She stated that lasting peace is absolutely impossible without justice, inclusion, and listening to all voices.
The conference focused on human rights, the migration crisis, and the heavy restrictions imposed on women. Participants highlighted the critical need for youth, intellectuals, and women to unite under a shared narrative to map out a brighter future for the country.
Sima Samar, former head of the Independent Human Rights Commission, also spoke at the event about collective responsibility. She urged leaders to prioritize human dignity, the rights of women and girls, and the fundamental right to self determination.
