The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Indonesia hosted a workshop on Saturday to support the International Conference on Afghan Women’s Education (ICAWE) under the theme ‘Education for Her, Progress for All.’ The workshop was part of a unified effort to address the challenges facing Afghan Women’s Education.
During the inauguration, Yousef bin Sultan Laram, director of Asian Affairs Department at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA), emphasised Qatar’s recognition of the importance of Afghan women’s rights to education. He noted that the matter is not solely related to equality in education but is a critical step towards safeguarding their fundamental rights and dignity.
He outlined that education is one of the fundamental human rights, noting that through promoting this right the women are empowered to practice their rights in full participation to build their future, affirming that Qatar will remain a strong proponent for women’s rights to education.
For his part, Director for South and Central Asian Affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Indonesia, Jatmiko Prasetyo, said there is a need for attaining real and tangible solutions, pointing out that there should be an unwavering international support, community education and international partnerships to secure the funding opportunities, as well as digital and technological innovations.
Organized by the Center for Conflict and Humanitarian Studies (CHS), the workshop brings together senior experts, international organizations, and stakeholders to address the hurdles that impede Afghan Women’s access to good education.
The outcomes of the workshop will be proffered to a host of policy makers and thought leaders during the two-day Doha Forum that will kick off on Monday who converge this year under the theme of building a joint future.
