Afghan Women are concerned on deteriorating security situation in Afghanistan and loss of innocent citizen in suicide bombing
We women express our deepest sorrow and concern over the continuation of deteriorating security situation and offer our prayer to the soul of the women, children and men martyrs who have lost their life in scared month of Ramadan in face of ignorance and we the women of Afghanistan condemn the terrorists acts which is killing civilians and creating atmosphere of fear in our country.
We Muslim women want peace, peace that Islam prevails. We would like to clarify that no political agenda can justify killing of Muslims anytime, in particular in this holy month.
The holy Quran says killing of one Muslim is equal to killing a society and the holy Quran also states that every little thing that human being is doing will be accounted. This means, there is no in any possible way justification in the name of Islam related to the suicide attacks and killings of Muslims and innocent civilians. Hence these are all political acts that victimizes the people especially women and children of our war-stricken country.
We want all Afghans to work for peace, unity and respect of human values and let this country to build the starches of war together where and Afghan child, women and man live a dignified life as a Muslim.
We urge The Afghan Government that in any kind of peace negotiation with any party of concern should not undermine Afghan Women’s status and Human rights principles inscribed in the Afghan Constitution. And based on the Afghan constitution, principles of Universal Deceleration of Human rights and other conventions that Afghanistan is a member to, no accord in past and future should exempt anyone from human rights crimes
