"Mr President, an extraordinary 21 year-old Afghan girl, who miraculously escaped from Taliban inhumanity and is now a refugee, together with hundreds of other women, told me when I was in Islamabad: "Now you are at the European Parliament, talk about us! Here, take this, it is my . Show it to them, show the world this symbol and the reality of our denied existence, our imprisonment, our violated, dead and stoned bodies.” This is why today, speaking in this Parliament, I will wear this just for a moment. This is a gesture on behalf of all the women who have been killed, raped and denied their rights in Afghanistan and the world. The rights of women in Afghanistan are continually being violated. Women in Afghanistan and their cause need our solidarity and commitment. So we are asking Parliament, the Council, the Commission and the United Nations not to recognise the Taliban regime and to promote an action plan on behalf of the NGOs working in Afghanistan for the fundamental rights of Afghan women and their economic and social emancipation, and on behalf of the NGOs which help female Afghan refugees. However, there is something else we must do together: grant the right to asylum and aid to women who are forced to flee from Afghanistan."@en1
