afghans. 34 provinces have allowed girl schools to reopen and secondary classes due to start later this week. fe strict conditions here to share more passed on a dirani as an educator and the director for learn afghanistan. she's currently in massachusetts, in the us store. i, oc, muddy is a program coordinator at women for women international. she's in the u. k, and in germany is aretha crawford is a human rights activist and economists. she's also the former mayor of the city of maiden shar, others one last seed at the table and that is for you. you can follow along in our live you tube chat and see that box over there. you can send your questions to me so i can get them at the panel and you too can be in the stream. i want to begin with this report from women from women international which store i year a part of it says no one hears our voices. this just came out. and it's basically what's changed in afghanistan since the taliban took over. some of the key

questions here. let's scroll down. here we go. how was your weekly income changed? over half, the income has dropped to 0, and the other half say it's been reduced. okay, how would you describe food secured in your house household? to 3rd say often, not enough to eat. one 3rd say sometimes not enough to eat. have you received assistance community from the government organizations or individuals? 95 per cent, say no story can. can you tell us a bit about how this survey was conducted and a little bit about what you thought were some of the most important top lines or items to come out of it? i think you are the question at just. i'm calling the taliban take over afghanistan in august, 2021 and the subsequent to the

a t t and in economic crisis acting the country ad there has been many conversation about afghan normally are wear doubts including a or talking to love again, women and says and this is why women for women international ab broke on my doc taishan and policy recommendation are directly based on inputs from afghan one. we had spoke with a 2 woman across have janice son at the also and i spoke with a woman right. organizations and women activists and 100 percent of them do 40 odd that they are a household financial situation i had did oriented, and they did not have enough to eat. 97 percent of women reported that they had that they have restriction on their freedom and 91 percent of women reported that they need greater psycho social supports in 4 months. they have not left

a whole hour when we talk to a to women. right. well then i sessions at they said that they want solution for economic crisis and they want their rights. but there is one, an overarching message emerged from this research that our international community has an important school as to play by exercising its power. i include a woman and a future decision making. you know, i want to bring him a voice of an african woman here that she's a former mayor of her right. she says this video comment about what is like there. now this is alicia during the past 20 years, women in afghanistan have had access to education and training which allowed them to work and contribute at a high level. being able to work at a high level gives women the ability to feel that as human beings, they are living to their full capacity and contributing to their country. this

attitude shifted and back slighted with the regime change and we as women are no longer able to work as freely or reach her potential as people. however, our request and desire from the current regime is to take positive strides in regards to women and their ability to work. and in terms of their training and education. i want to go from one former mayor to another 0 if, if you had to flee the country, but chose recently to go back and visit your back out of afghanistan again. can you tell us what was a like to go back in and what were your experiences? i thank you judge actually going back forth leaving because we and i go for me was ab p r. and it was more about how i came on when information on the wow with talking to the plan. who was my child was made up, it was up,

it was amazing. we a big change in the can flee. the moment i came out of airport, i was like i, i was just trying to find the same possible or maybe the c panel which i was both back, which, which i felt i couldn't exactly find that the, the most important topic is the money in crisis the way that my big mile war man, just finding in the back lee in kabul city for just one bread is, is it's hard breaking, looking to big amount, 12 gold and wal mad which are go with paying for there is to forbearing all for like they do know what the future for them was really kind

of a big, big, big shock for me personally, but as, as in past 6 months as well. i, i have been working on the topics. i'm globally with the warm and the can. so i knew that all that was a big shot and it will be that way, which i thought all would be, but went to the can we tried going to far from from like past 25. well there was like no kind of assistance. our services, are we the ground to the pupil and that i pupil a bad village. i thought they were living in a 100 years. they go, i live all 100 years and then it yeah, i live, which is like the whole different than so many refill part. that's not what the taliban promised though the taliban promise to defend women's rights under the law . and now this week is

a big test of that right persona. when we're talking with the secondary schools open, we want to see if the girls are going to go back to school and not just in the cities, but as a very close. and you know, out in the country in the more rural areas, what should we expect to see a secondary schools open passed on in the secondary schools that we are talking about. ready you know, they're not opening in warmer engine. they're only opening into and not going to do which was opened by the way back to when the taliban came into our micro and said now and the whole southern region that i'm talking to. none of them have a package with the school. 18 schools and right now are not told to open tomorrow for the good. there will be close for the girls. that is the city i'm talking about and some back because there was water because these people weren't controlling the lady. yes, the good lady never got to go to school today when they cleaned the water for. why

are the eagle goes to not able to go to school where the goods in the city not going to school? saying like, you know, giving ultimatum to the international community and then telling them that we are doing good on back part tuning based on national community and the people, any anyone who's watching them back the schools are open in the northern region even in december. and they closed them just for the winter vacation. and the same thing is happening to now it's just me not, not happening, opening in the southern egan and the whole like international committee. thinking that it's going to open for southern region to are any other word, egan, honestly, but it's not an afternoon, not, not on the same page when it comes to grows nice when it comes to grades and what you women that i need to finding under the shadow luck, the fact back to women to the still missing the fact that to good schools. young, great, today is one of those these. but i'm losing my faith in humanity as i talk. and

because no matter how much optimistic picture one can off up on the sun, no matter how many hundreds of goods i can put in school, it just breaks my heart. that whole regional school girl won't be able to go to school tomorrow just because a few men came into power and don't think it's appropriate for them to go on to what are they based on the research we have contacted the high like the top recommendation from woman is that the international community should hold the county about the government for the commitments they made to start school till the end of march and have investment on teacher education storage. speaking of the

international community and recommend mandation to the national community. i want to go to the human rights watch here. this is heather bar and here's what you had to say. the taliban have been denying millions of girls access to secondary school for over 7 months now. so it's excellent news that they've said they'll reopen those schools this week, but it's no time to cheer and move on. it's urgently important that the international community do 3 things. first, verify that these schools actually are opened. second look at a broader set of issues related to access to education, including are the teachers being paid or to tell them harassing teachers and students. and is the curriculum being changed and harmful ways? and then 3rd, donors have to recognize that you can't separate education from other types of women's rights violation. so for example, taliban are banning women from most forms of employment. and girls are going to be much less motivated to study if they're not going to be able to have the career that they're preparing for. and just to add on that, you know, when heather,

think all that stuff you have to understand and including thought, 8 i when you create an industry that in all humility and industry and there is no alternative, good conduct denied the fact that the whole international community when they would come up on a new one, be in the employment left for them. that's the 1st thing. that is no money there because there are no organizations left enough on the phone to set aside back. that's the 1st thing that we need to understand as a common person and upon a son that most of the jobs were humanity in industry based thinking. thing is why ever taliban cleaning bad good schools will open and they are still not opening. and the reason that i just told you a book, but is the same, tend to school for voice. what is the distance i need to understand? and also like because the choice is just like heather said i did, i could hear choices for boys bit. that's why they are motivated to go to school. but what about good, good, and women was supposed to work. the only way that

a one woman morrow will be workspaces after everything that happened would be in the school in a public working space. you know, it's kind of thing to think and back. that's the only job left and i'm going to send for women, especially if somebody get it's not even in a whole lot on the agenda for me. hoping lag on the tour. i just to, i don't the session i go and he, the ball i actually when we are talking over the phone call brown the, it's not a big bulk the i think we have a connection issue right now with your audio. what's hold on just 2nd. see if we can get that fixed because i want to hear what you have to say. in the meantime. story i meant though, this question to you. this is from charles preston. he's in our youtube live chat

right now. and he's asked, what should western governments due to pressure the taliban to hold them more accountable story? yes, yes. so based on the research that came from a woman and woman right, organizations, did you not have the power deliveries? do the sources like they don't have anything, but what international community has they have everything like they can hold them accountable for the commitments that they've made. and this is my response, like they have everything and they can i get involved and they can get in negotiation and get in dialogue with the defect to governments and then hold them accountable for your audio. as you sort of,

you can tell us what you're saying there again. yeah, actually i was saying that if we're talking about opening for, and we need to talk about how many more schools we have around the can lee and how much of them are functioning. the, the way that we need it for woman and they can play especially for gotcha. and then in the catholic like example in the same village with, i have b to ed. you, they go. there was just one primary school which was l. u. then having an open a, we are an employee like in a how with what, why, but the ground was having some carpets and they were already bill. so like when you're talking about it, you, patient forgot that we don't need, we have to just i said, we don't have that properly limited services to all me warm

and i'm going of being the, to case it around the can we but under the same time when we are talking about last question, i said there is like 2 different sides of the can we like the one whether the call where the side. so that's also having a problem right now. and the more important thing is, so we have so many places that we don't have that primary school grad. well that if i, here's the thing. if taliban can take money from customs and spin more back if they can take money and get her into come right. if they can take all that tax money and they're okay with that. if they're okay with taking the money from both $80.00 and also all the not the media when it comes to the agents there with all those custom money. right. they're taking all that money. they're human rights. watch. the theme

report. if you study it is safe, back, 3500 of one you've been given to our teachers and the rest is taken by the poly bag . why? because the safe text money, which i mean you, we both know better than payment that has given to teachers that already tax write the course into all the tax if they're already taking so much taxes, how come they are not ok with opening schools. that's the 1st thing. the 2nd thing is, the government was correct. there was no schools, man, i agree with you on that end. but then at the same time, when i was going to stop the war on our own kid who is going to, who's willing to be accountable to these kids, or you change it. or depending on that education. and the one solution that we do have in place, which i just had for a thought i done was that what needs to be done? ok. didn't want to open school, how much we better them because i think it was the us. it was international community that actually lift the sanctions off,

travel for all of these lead partner, but what able to travel all across the world, right? so they can tell us really how come woman cannot tell us. that's the 1st thing. how come, grace cannot go to school really? why can't we do much sanction? how is the international community so blind with all this and everyone so ok, with that way. speaking of the international community, i'd like to bring in a piece of video. this is from michelle bachelor. she's the high commissioner and human rights at the u. n. and she recently visited app canister, and here's what she had to say. i am listening to women share the experiences and those sisters. and in speaking to the fact to her, it is about the urgent critical need to make prowess progress towards the realization of women and girl fundamental human rights. and to bring to an end, the many serious human rights violations which women and girls of being subject to girls should be able to go to school and university and be empowered to contribute robustly, to the future of the country. women should be peaceably represented in the police force in courts of law, in government, and in the private sector. in the, the,

in every fear of civic and public life and human rights watch on their website has an article called 4 ways to support girls access to education in afghanistan. and the for tips are fund education without funding discrimination based on i think you touched on that support communities is a fight for girls, right? to education stand by afghans under threat for defending the right to education and monitor all aspects of access to education. all right, very for, we're going to say actually, when we are talking about exactly what apartments are in the community, they need to do right now as when we are talking about abundant in some group bought 30 millions of people. that's also something that i will not just like because i am, if i am making 30000000 up a pupil living and that can be for that thousands of people that i want to or maybe

international community want to bundle that and then it's not normal line it's not for you, but when we are really talking about taking something full con, rates on the ground, we need to just say so accountable as question. actually, it's not just the money question from the borders or from the class. so it's the money that millions of dollars have been donated by international community by us who are funds the bar at the bottom and right now and like whoever is willing because now they have millions of dollars, but to so we don't have like there were there are still much more colleagues from apartment that i know they didn't receive. there is not only teacher, but even one who have been walking. there are so many was mine and main, and they department so that they have been walking like 4 months within the

government. tyler bonded to the barman time as well, but reach out to cation isn't an economic barrier as much as an ideological barrier and happiness them right? i fully, it's not, it's nothing about the idea would you call. it's not about the additional something . it's what it, what we have is like to improve and why it's been up on the spot. that's why we have the see each occasional problem. one it was, you'll see that the fall of one was the them. so basically read that for that. and the 2nd that's been how we use millions of dollars and a balance on and be put in where the money for that and the best way. and we put in like really use it in the right way. right. but my point, my point is josh, like there are millions of dollars boarding into appointments. and i agree with on this. and i totally agree with women for women. and what he has said right now that there is education employment being because being reduced and not actually pointing

out at the economic situation right now i'm talking about the discrimination that he can just been quite that school for boys are opened up on this time. but when it comes to policies right tomorrow, we'll see that. but why i've few schools still clothed in the southern region on it's on our eastern region. what is that? we need to understand that. and that's the 1st way to unpack this. and the 2nd thing is, if you don't answer the question, why are the schools closes the southern part of the eastern part of afghanistan? because the taliban are not on the same day because the taliban are not the same uniform government that they liked the way to believe and they are not. they are not uniform. i wouldn't like to call them government and that's what they do. but then at the same time, their policies toward women, not the policies i from that, how come they are?

what putting all the women at home from the way forces. how are they ok, we're putting all those economic pool at the onto women and then be asking the wife for legit and then how does the word okay, we're giving that leg in the thing that even i'm posing these questions. yeah. because this program can remember that there, i'm good what it was supposed to be good tomorrow. then 99 percent of the internet on the deck. i mean he doesn't even kick that a good article to be related. now not that need to be a new right now, i got about a minute left here story. i want to return to the women for women report at the end . it has recommendations and this one is the international community must hold the de facto government, accountable to their commitment to reopen secondary classrooms, to girls and women beyond class 6, which is age 11 to 12 this week. how, how should the international community hold the government? there accountable for this, it's based on what he says for

a woman. i don't sure be a didn't know that i don't have the power, but international community has the power to add to a case on behalf of the and right. and that's why they and they want international community to add to the kids and get engaged. and i have a defacto government to our star reminding dad committee. i'm in and out there. but i am going to say this about the international committees that al jazeera english is going to be watching those goals. see if they open afghanistan or not. so i want to think, my guess was donna story ends aretha. we are leave it there for today, but thank you for coming in for watching. and we'll see you in the stream next time . ah
