how do we make cities greener? how can we protect animals and their habitat? what to do with all our waste? we can make a difference by choosing reforestation over deforestation recycling over disposable smart new solutions over steam set in our ways, or is truly unique. and we know that, that uniqueness is what allows us to live and survive. google ideas, the environmental global 3000 on d, w, and online 50 dublin years, facia coming up to date, the hypocrisy of the folly bonds, treatment of women. the group sits at the same table as focused on woman deputy foreign minister, but denies the same rights to afghan women. instead, many face torture and humiliation from the group. i don't,

i don't know which taliban member slapped my face 1st because i felt my age honestly damaged. and he snapped me again and my mouth started bleeding. what prompts this behavior and what does this mean of gone grim and moving forward? ah, i'm british manager, welcome to the dublin years, a shag ledger could join us of got his 1000 dollar bon rulers won't allow women to join that cabinet. but they have no qualms meeting a woman cabinet minister from another islamic country pakistan's deputy foreign minister. he not a binding. hod wasn't a cowboy earlier in the week to meet her opposite number in the thought. bon, the thought yvonne happy to return the airport and then sit across the table from

her and ask on human doing the same would be unthinkable. among other things, all about rule has seemed, most of god women prevented from going back to their jobs and goals prevented from returning to secondary school. and that is something to discuss for more and joined the studio by did a report of the new java finish. welcome. in her meeting with the taliban, did deputy foreign minister, he, nobody car bring up the issue of the treatment of compliment, ballistic official communicate does fit that bacchus and brought up the issue of human rights in its negotiation. but taliban and during her visit to couple in albany, co also met with members of african women, chamber of commerce and buckets. and also suggests that it would prefer doing business bits of land women entrepreneurs. and i think the fact that back isn't fender women minister instead of foreign minister, beloved put, or any other mil official. also sure to the world and also to taliban that when

a woman is educated she has agency, she has freedom and she has a she is empowered as she can be involved in the most important decision making of the country. and i think taliban the world also saw saw that taliban, who asked their women to covered themselves from head to door and crushing their rates. here they are meeting of women minister from neighboring muslim country, not even a restaurant or a european country. and hillary bonnie cut is not only has not had head is also not properly covered, but they wouldn't allow. and i've gone woman in that position of command where she's leading a delegation and talking i per i an equally with of crime taliban leadership. so send me a message to be our grandfather, bond leadership and therefore the question, how important is restoring women's rights and have gone a son for partisan? i mean it's important, but i don't ping that except priority right now for pakistan. are bucket found right now is under 10. from that it is some activities of pakistani taliban, it's

a group that has 4 years attacked buckets and instead it's people, children and since of gone balaban took over in afghanistan. these attacks have increased and pakistan believes that i guess any taliban and these militants are based in afghanistan and they are planning these attacks from the of gone dated city. and i remember in august 2021 i was in islamabad, that men of, of gone taliban took over. some military officials were very jubilant and happy that now pakistan will have a friendly neighbor in its western border, of course, because i already has a horse down there but on its eastern border. but the reality has been that western border has been a, has a seen a lot of problems and have been at dogs are on pakistan. did it? did i say, i think number one message that ended up on the code, a gift of land gallop on was that there want help of, of gone down the bank are gone during this tact of that. it isn't that buckets on

believes is coming from the a france way aside from the foreign policy deliberations. i understand that you, yourself were in kabul of the ministry of foreign affairs in 2012. what was it like? yes, i saw i was a part of fun journalism fellowship program and i stayed in gobbled for 10 days. and i remember that at the ministry of foreign affairs, we were welcomed by these young women, a foreign ministry officer. and they told us about what kind of gun is done, they want, what kind of foreign policy they were pursuing and what kind of relations they want with afghan. this. and i also went to different a government ministries and to also to a news channel or the news. and there were women participants there. so women were very active part of the society and that is completely missing right now. when i see visuals of hinted up on the card meeting, but i've gone a guided by leadership. and one thing i'll quickly say, i remember the story. i've gone and i've learned journalist told me it here. his

sister was actually 6 years older than him than him. both of them graduated at the same time because from 1996 to 2001. when got of gone his on was under taliban control, his sister couldn't go to school. and unfortunately that is happening again after so many years with so many of grand women, which is just disappointing and extremely hard brick and do any she will leave it there. thanks so much for coming in here and has been used to said the situation is very different now women, human rights activists, for instance, have been arrested and tortured actors such as a part of our non needs robbie, who spent 24 days in jail. after being arrested for participating in a women's rights protest. in kabul in mid january the syrup. she's not in germany as a refugee and spoke to the dublin news about her experience in prism. oh, me, coming back from you. what do you know what punishment we have chosen for you? a taliban member asked me one day. when i said i didn't know,

he said they would stone me. tell the other girl to pray. we're going to stone you . he said, i started crying and asked him what my crime was. that was the worst time. my biggest wish was to get a helmet so that i would not get hurt if they stoned me. i checked my clothes to see if there was something that could protect me from stoning. and i wondered if you would stoning hurt me. ah, active his power one is robbie spent $24.00 days in the taliban prison enough gun. this done. her work fighting for women's rights put her in the hard line groups firing line since seizing power in august 2021. the taliban have severely restricted these rights girls have been barred from school and women. faith increasingly harsh social restrictions. after

protesting for women's rights in the afghan capital, kabul is robbie was arrested de covered with them care manner for me to include them. i don't know which taliban member slapped my face 1st. civic her burns that i felt my eardrums were damaged them. you know, like mitchell southern earth and he snapped me again at my mouth. started leading his adam. that wasn't, that's not that point. but i tried to get out of the car in which they were carrying me. but another taliban member who was sitting in the back seat, hit me and my back and with his pistol said, because my son nicholas presented that that bush, that near robbie says the taliban tortured her and forced her to sign a confession document. eventually releasing her. the activists recently arrived in germany, but remains haunted by the inhumane conditions she endured. turned out, talk more with the letters for hampstead, where the toilet was in the same room where they kept me from her long victim

before me. for some of the taliban were watching me all the time. okay. even when i was using the toilet, come washing myself with i'm or just walking in the room at the moment i had to cover myself with the cloth while using the toilets. i bought a war passamore, i had no privacy slander hers, and on top of him was him an american amish of the colon. ups for them. shut them messy me as a form of policy, special adviser to the u. k. minister for afghan resettlement, and minister for refugees. she joins me now from london. mister, see me, why does the father bon need to torture women when they have already curtailed their rights? look, i think one thing is very clear that the people are back annasae and in particular women are being denied that basic human rights. and the bottom line is the taliban have so clearly demonstrated that they are not going to abide by any agreements that they may have made with the international community. over the years

. they seem to think that their legitimacy and part a large part is on keeping women out of sight. and any kind of public role they use fear and violence as a means of controlling women and the country. and they have no legitimacy, no qualifications to govern a nation, and is only through curtailing women's rights. and the rights of the people who are canis van that they can control. and they believe they can control the nation and, and govern it and is both appalling and a dangerous sign. the taliban are becoming more and more defiant in showing the war . well, they are embracing the policies of the past, i think. and you're a demo and, and well for them before and it role not, and for them as well for them again. now you used to advise you could government and policy in afghanistan under, in, involved with the country. do you think of the international community is no longer

as committed to have gone to san as it was so even after until the yearbook look, i think it's it, it definitely is incredibly heartbreaking to see how little coverage the situation of women in afghanistan is getting because the future of afghanistan as a stable and a peaceful nation, just as any other nation in the world depends on the future of women's rights and 15 months have already gone by where women have been banned her from from a restricted from working young girls. senior girls have been banned from school. it is the only country in the world where young girls are not allowed to leave in education. it is a shameful mom. on the international news, he on humanity that a country like that this where human rights are restricted for the basic human rights for women. so i think it is definitely a setting to see how this whole support or the way in about kennesaw receiving from

you and international community. but it, it, it shows even more how desperately they need our attention. particularly the muslim majority countries in the west have been there for 20 years, and the expectation is always there for them to show their support. but i think right now, because the caliber talent i'm power afghanistan is rely more on the muslim majority countries on neighbors to convey a very unified and strong message about the cost of stability and prosperity is half the population isn't allowed to contribute to society. afghanistan. very briefly, what was the future of women in afghanistan? underfunded? bond rule looked like very bleak, very dark. there is no sheet rock and a sand. there is no future for a growth in the economy in diminishing the humanitarian crisis or any kind of prosperity in the nation. where like i said, half the population is restricted and imprisoned at home. currently,

the taliban have proven that they have no respect for humanity for the dignity of the people who like amazon and it is on the incredibly important that the global community come together. now before. ringback is too late. we'll leave there for the time. thank you so much for joining us. shopped on assuming your former policy special adviser to the euchre minister for of course we settlement and minister for refugees. thanks much. and that's it for this week. there's more stories from the region on our website. it's d deborah dot gov, forward slash issue. we're back again on monday if you then goodbye. ah. every jersey begins with the 1st step and every language with the 1st word, louis pinnacle, rico is in germany to learn german. why not learn with him? simple online, on your mobile and free to shop. d w e learning course,
