Mr President, according to Reuters, Afghanistan is ranked first in the world when it comes to violations of women's rights. Pakistan takes third place on this list of shame. There is a religious and cultural acquiescence to pouring acid on women, stoning and honour killings in these countries, and the reason for this is their lack of ideological neutrality. The majority religion, which deprives women of most of their human rights, has a decisive influence on their situation.
Half of the women serving prison sentences in Afghanistan have been convicted for moral crimes such as adultery, abandoning their husband or escaping from home. Ninety per cent of Afghan women have experienced beatings, rape, mental harassment or forced marriage. Despite the intervention of NATO forces, the situation of women in Afghanistan has deteriorated rather than improving. Laws adopted for their protection stir up yet more aggression on the part of men. We need to staunchly oppose this state of affairs."@en1
