Afghan Women Parliamentarians (EDM1354)

Afghan Women Parliamentarians

EDM number 1354 in 2008-09, proposed by Sally Keeble on 27/04/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Afghanistan and Human rights.

That this House supports the brave stance taken by women members of the Afghan parliament to attack the now shelved family law proposals drafted by the Karzai government, which potentially could have decriminalised rape; furthermore expresses concern that the Afghan government has drawn up legislation which amounts to severe restrictions to women's rights; and calls on the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs to continue to express concern at the highest level over this issue and ensure that the Karzai government acts in a way that is consistent with the UN Charter on Human Rights and the Afghan constitution.

This motion has been signed by a total of 76 MPs, 3 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
