At the 54th meeting of the United Nations Human Rights Council on Monday, Güven Begeç, Turkiye’s representative, said that depriving Afghan women of their right to education and employment will worsen the social and economic situation of Afghanistan in the long run.
Begec said that these restrictions are against the will of the Afghan people.
He added that Turkiye expresses solidarity with the Afghan people, especially Afghan women and girls.
While expressing concern over the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan, Begec said that 28 million people are in dire need of humanitarian aid.
"Millions of [Afghan] children go to bed hungry every night," he said at the UN Human Rights Council meeting.
He added that Ankara is trying to promote human rights through interaction [with the Taliban] and find ways for the economic and social participation of the people in Afghanistan.
