The statement was issued by the OIC in its final communiqué on "Recent developments and the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan" of the extraordinary meeting of the OIC Executive Committee.

 

The grouping of 57 member states also expressed grave concern over the "deteriorating humanitarian and human rights situation in Afghanistan" and called on the Islamic emirate to respect human rights, including the rights of women and children.

An emergency meeting of the open-ended executive committee was convened on 11 January in Jeddah to discuss the development and humanitarian situation in Afghanistan.

 

The meeting was called following recent measures by the de facto authority in Afghanistan to close schools and universities for girls and women and to suspend the work of women in national and international NGOs.

 

Taliban officials issued a decree on 24 December banning women from working in non-governmental organizations. He had already suspended university education for women and secondary education for girls until further notice.

 

In a press statement this month, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Toor called on the Taliban to repeal policies targeting the rights of women and girls, including those with a "terrible, widespread impact" on their lives and destabilizing policies. Both risks were taken into account. Such policies are made for Afghan society.
