Baroness D'Souza (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 March 2025

Debate

International Women’s Day

Contribution

My Lords, does the Minister agree that one way to change the attitude towards girls and women would be to educate boys? That would be particularly important in a country such as Afghanistan, where girls are forbidden to have an education, at least at secondary school level. Educating boys, which might be permissible, could help to change their attitude towards their future partners and wives.
