We the undersigned representatives
of Muslim women’s organizations concerned about the negative media reports of
the apparent transgressions and abuses against our Muslim sisters in
Afghanistan.
Wish To:
Ask the leadership of the
Taliban to clarify their position on the status and role of Afghan women in
society.
Recall
That:
Fourteen centuries ago
Islam liberated women and guaranteed them dignity and full rights to participate
in the building and well-being of their communities at all levels.
We seek to have a large international response
to stress to the Secretary- General the outrage that women feel. We also want to
show our solidarity with our sisters in Afghanistan, who have been asking what
we in the international community are doing to assist them. Therefore, it is
important to have NGOs from as many countries as possible sign-on to this
letter.
