We are deeply concerned by the reported arrest of Afghan WHRD Nikbakht Arefi and members of her family by Pakistani police. Their whereabouts and legal status remain unclear.
Afghan WHRDs must not be put at further risk while seeking safety and protection.
تعرب فيمينا عن قلقها إزاء التغييرات الموثّقة في الكتب المدرسية السورية، التي شملت حذف صور النساء أو طمسها وتضييق نطاق تمثيلهن وحذف دروس تتناول المواطنة والمشاركة الديمقراطية.
تدعو فيمينا وزارة التربية والتعليم السورية إلى ضمان أن ترسّخ المناهج الدراسية المساواة بين الجنسين وأن تعكس تنوّع حياة النساء وهوياتهن وإسهاماتهن ويجب أن يستند إصلاح المناهج إلى مشاركة فعلية ومؤثرة من المنظمات النسوية والمدافعات عن حقوق الإنسان والعاملات في المجال التربوي.
Femena is concerned by documented changes to Syrian schoolbooks that remove or obscure women’s images, narrow their representation, and omit lessons on citizenship and democratic participation.
Curriculum reform must involve meaningful participation by feminist organizations, women human rights defenders and educators. We urge the ministry to review the documented changes transparently and reverse revisions that exclude women or reinforce discriminatory stereotypes.
At today’s Civil Society Forum on Women, Peace and Security, Femena’s Zubaida Akbar called on the #UN and the international community to end the exclusion of Afghan women and turn commitments into action. 🧵@ngowgwps #WPS #Afghanistan
“If the WPS agenda means that women’s participation and protection are non-negotiable, why has the international community, including the UN, repeatedly allowed the Taliban to make those very rights negotiable?”

“We need to be clear: engagement must not become normalization.”
— Zubaida Akbar on international engagement with the Taliban.
