"Mr President, as my colleagues have just said, there have, in actual fact, been some improvements in Afghanistan. However, I find it outrageous that the situation of women in Afghanistan is still almost unchanged 10 years after the signature of the Bonn Agreement on creating the transitional government under the presidency of Hamid Karzai.
I am deeply concerned about the high rates of mortality at birth and of infant mortality, the marginalisation of women in society, the existence of fundamentalist courts in some regions, as well as about the frequent armed attacks against girls and women who go to school or try to take part in public life.
In spite of the progress made in terms of their representation in parliament and the administration, Afghan women also remain victims of domestic violence, trafficking and forced marriages, the lack of medical care and police and judicial discrimination. The explosion which took place on Saturday night at the girls school in Pakistan speaks volumes about the situation of women in this country which the European Union is attempting to develop a partnership with, but this is at risk of being undermined by the brutal violation of human rights.
I too endorse the appeal made to the Afghan and Pakistani authorities."@en1
