Saif-ul-Islam Khyber highlighted that Hanafi reiterated during the meeting that no one is allowed to violate the rights of women in the country.

The acting Minister of the Ministry of Vice and Virtue, Mohammad Khalid Hanafi, stated during a meeting in Laghman province that the Islamic Emirate is fully committed to safeguarding the legitimate rights of women in Afghanistan.

Saif-ul-Islam Khyber, the ministry’s spokesperson, highlighted that Hanafi reiterated during the meeting that no one is allowed to violate the rights of women in the country.

“The rights of women are being upheld, and in many areas, they have already gained their rights. The Ministry of Vice and Virtue does not permit anyone to oppress women or subject them to unjust traditions,” Khyber told TOLOnews.

According to Khyber, Hanafi also emphasized that local officials and religious scholars are obligated to enforce the decrees, rulings, and directives of the leader of the Islamic Emirate in civilian, military, and societal matters.

Samiullah Mohammadi, a religious scholar, added: “Our request is that progress in women’s education should be made according to Islamic laws and Sharia rulings, and women should be allowed to pursue it.”

Hanafi further stressed that the ministry’s officials must respect the privacy of individuals and treat people with kindness and dignity.
