La sociedad afgana está enfrentando momentos muy difíciles. Pero las mujeres de Afganistán están en una situación particularmente peligrosa: Hoy, ahora, en estos precisos momentos, han vuelto al poder aquellos que en un pasado reciente quisieron prohibirles la educación, imponerles matrimonios forzados, garantizar la impunidad a los culpables de abusos sexuales en su contra y negarles sus libertades y derechos humanos. Aquellos que consideran que el mundo de las mujeres debe ser uno de sumisión y resignación. La agresión a las mujeres en Afganistán es una agresión a todas las mujeres del mundo. Y no podemos, las Naciones Unidas no pueden, sabiéndolo, quedarse de brazos cruzados, paralizadas por restricciones burocráticas o divisiones políticas en el Consejo de Seguridad. Debemos trabajar unidos para protegerlas y restituir sus plenas libertades y derechos. La causa de las mujeres de Afganistán es una causa de toda la humanidad.
