Heather Barr, the Women's Rights Division co-director at Human Rights Watch, strongly criticized the European Union for inviting a Taliban government delegation to Brussels. She stated that the EU cannot wash away the shame of this action by simply providing minor cash assistance.
This reaction comes after the EU allocated twenty million euros to support returned migrants and internally displaced persons in Afghanistan. The Taliban government delegation recently traveled to Brussels to discuss the technicalities of deporting Afghan migrants from European countries.
The visit has sparked widespread backlash among human rights defenders. Richard Bennett, the UN Special Rapporteur, called the meeting an insult to the Afghan people, particularly women, and strictly opposed the forced deportation of asylum seekers.
