Despite US sanctions that violate international law, the basic rights of women and girls, especially their right to development, Iran has made significant strides in empowering women and girls, including in the field of education.

Unfortunately, we still see the destructive effects of the occupation and foreign intervention, as well as terrorist activities that target women and girls.

Takhtarvanchi continued:
We believe that the protection of the human rights of all Afghans, including women and girls, their participation in the peace and security process, as well as their legitimate aspirations, must be guaranteed.
