OTTAWA: OCTOBER 12, 2022

Ambassador Hassan Soroosh participated and spoke in an event which was organized by the Ottawa Chapter of the Right to Learn Afghanistan to celebrate the International Day of the Girl and to showcase the Afghan culture and resilience of Afghan girls.

Ambassador Soroosh stated that “on this occasion, while we celebrate the strength and resilience of girls in Afghanistan, we also express our sorrow and concern over their tragic situation under the Taliban rule.”

He spoke about the Taliban's increasing restrictions on women and girls, describing them as a tragic manifestation of gender apartheid that aims to silence and erase women and girls from public life. He emphasized that every Afghan girl, like all girls worldwide, deserves the opportunity to learn and fulfill her potential.

Ambassador Soroosh thanked the government of Canada, friends of Afghanistan in Canada including the Right to Learn Afghanistan team, and our diaspora community for their sustained engagement and commitment in support of Afghan women and girls. He expressed hope that with continued collective efforts at an international level, the current trajectory in Afghanistan will be reversed, and the people of Afghanistan will have a future free from hostility and injustice toward women and girls, where all girls and boys have the right to learn and flourish in a peaceful and prosperous environment.
