On June 21, 2026, Ambassador Hassan Soroosh joined community activists and friends of Afghanistan on Parliament Hill in Ottawa for a gathering in solidarity with the women and girls of Afghanistan organized by the Network for Cooperation and Empowerment of Afghans in Canada.
Participants condemned the increasing restrictions on Afghan women and girls including the recent detention of women and girls in Herat based on their appearance and dress, as well as the violent crackdown on peaceful protesters.
The Ambassador thanked the organizers and participants, noting that their presence reflected a shared commitment to ensuring that the voices of Afghan women and girls are heard, supported, and defended as they continue to endure the consequences of a system of gender apartheid.
The Ambassador emphasized that the events in Herat are not isolated incidents, but rather part of a broader pattern of restrictions that have systematically excluded women and girls from education, employment, public life, and freedom of movement.
The Ambassador further stressed the importance of effectively utilizing international accountability mechanisms and ensuring that the rights of all Afghans particularly women and girls remain at the center of international engagement and decision-making on Afghanistan.
The Ambassador also expressed appreciation to the Government of Canada and to friends of Afghanistan across the country for their principled support of the people of Afghanistan, especially women and girls.

The Ambassador congratulated Mr. Kakar, a newcomer entrepreneur from Afghanistan and his team, for leading this important initiative. He noted that this achievement is a powerful reflection of the opportunities available in Canada and of the significant contributions that newcomers continue to make to the country’s society, economy, and communities.
The Ambassador also expressed his delight at seeing members of the Afghan diaspora among the exhibitors, showcasing their talents, creativity, and entrepreneurial achievements to a broader audience
