"Mr President, what disturbs me most about the change to the law introduced in Afghanistan is that women have had their right to medical treatment taken away. This is a result of the ban on going out of the home without the husband’s permission and also of the ban on undergoing medical examination.
Afghanistan is a country where, as a result of many years of civil war, the state of hospitals and their equipment is catastrophic. Access to water is hindered because of the deployment of landmines. Hygiene skills and knowledge about how to manage minor ailments without medical help are no longer passed from one generation to the next, as was traditionally the case. Mothers do not pass on to young women the fact that camomile can be used when bathing a baby, because of its disinfectant properties. All too often the mothers have simply been murdered. In addition to this dramatic situation, the obstruction of access to a doctor or a healthcare facility could have catastrophic consequences for an entire generation. We should strive to resolve this problem, in spite of cultural differences."@en1
