"Mr President, the London Conference on Afghanistan has led to panic sweeping through the heart of Afghan society, and women are particularly afraid. The peace plan agreed on by 70 countries includes a fund to help reintegrate the Taliban and a Loya Jirga – peace council – must take place within the coming months in order for this reconciliation to be put into effect.
Women do not want to and must not pay the price for this reconciliation. The Taliban are still demanding the suppression of women’s rights and the return of Sharia. It is to be feared that the Loya Jirga will modify the Constitution and that the articles protecting women’s rights will disappear; in particular, Article 22 of Chapter 2.
Today, 8 March 2010, I solemnly request that the European Union act as guarantor of the future of Afghanistan’s women, as the re-emergence of the most femicidal regime in history cannot be countenanced."@en1
