Brussels:
The European Parliament announced that it is going to host a series of events on February 1 and 2 to discuss the situation of Afghan women following the Taliban takeover of the country.
In a statement, it said the ‘Afghan Women Days’ will kick off with a high-level conference which will be attended by members of the European Parliament, prominent Afghan women who were finalists for Parliament’s 2021 Shakarov Prize, activists, UN representatives and representatives from several other international organisations, reports TOLO News.
The European Union (EU) has said the Afghan women’s situation since the collapse of the previous government is worrying.
“Islamic Emirate welcomes the negotiations which are constructive and not challengeable. Of course, I should say that these talks should be based on Islamic values,” TOLO News quoted Taliban’s deputy spokesman Inamullah Samangani as saying. Taliban said that it supported productive negotiations. IANS
