Unidentified Speaker 1, a participant at the event, said, "We are not asking for charity. We are demanding our rights." The speaker added, "Afghanistan has no future until it is women are free."
The remarks were followed by Unidentified Speaker 2, who described an ongoing ban on girls' secondary and tertiary education. "The ban on secondary and tertiary education for girls persists now into its fourth year," the speaker said, adding that it is "depriving Afghanistan of female doctors, entrepreneurs, teachers, and leaders critical to the country today and for its future."
