Richard Bennett, the UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in Afghanistan, has strongly emphasized the absolute necessity of international accountability regarding women's rights. Speaking at a dedicated conference in Geneva, he stated that addressing the severe violations against Afghan girls requires robust legal and human rights mechanisms.
The international gathering brought together state representatives, global organizations, human rights activists, and survivors of targeted attacks to discuss pathways to justice. Participants expressed deep concerns over recent reports detailing the widespread arbitrary arrests of women and girls in major cities like Kabul and Herat.
Highlighting the continuous erosion of basic freedoms under the Taliban government, Bennett urged the global community to utilize structural mechanisms to demand justice. The conference concluded with a unified message that achieving sustainable peace and stability in Afghanistan is impossible without the full and equal participation of women.
