Women held a gathering in Kabul city on Monday and voiced support for the UN Secretary Generals call for the release of Afghanistans central bank assets.
The participants also urged the Islamic Emirate to reactivate the Ministry of Womens Affairs, to allow girls access to education, and to include women in the governments cabinet.
"We ask the world humanitarian organizations...The number of those who left the country and say to freeze the assets are not even one million. We are aware that they are saying such things. Is it important to kill 34 million (people) for the sake of one million?" askedTajor Kakar, a womens rights defender.
The participants voiced their concerns over the situation for women in the country.
They presented the Islamic Emirate with a proposal calling for the reopening of the Womens Ministry, facilitating education for girls, and including women in senior government positions.
"The utilization of woman workers and academic women, the appointment of women as deputy ministers, the aiding of vulnerable families, and the creation of job opportunities for Afghans are our main wishes," said Asma, a participant.
The Islamic Emirate has repeatedly said that it is committed to womens rights based on Islamic regulations.
The Islamic Emirates spokesman, Zabiullah Mujahid, told the Associated Press that they are hoping to reopen all schools in the coming solar year.
