Marking International Women’s Solidarity Day, the United Nations stated that for millions of women and girls around the world, rights remain merely written promises—existing on paper, but absent in reality.

In a message shared today (Wednesday, 13 Hoot), the UN emphasized that justice must be accessible, implemented, and tangible—not symbolic or selective.

The organization called for collective global efforts to ensure that justice for women moves beyond legal texts and becomes a lived and enforceable reality.

This statement comes as millions of women and girls in Afghanistan continue to be deprived of their most fundamental rights. In recent years, even the formal recognition of many of these rights has been systematically erased.

Under decrees and directives issued by the Taliban authorities, women have lost significant fundamental freedoms, including the right to education, employment, freedom of movement, freedom of expression, the right to choose, and meaningful participation in public life.
