Speaking in the House of Commons on 5 January 2026

Debate

Rights of Women and Girls: Afghanistan

Contribution

I am very happy to take that away. In conclusion, the UK will continue to fight for the rights of Afghan women and girls, and will continue to urge the Taliban to reverse their barbaric decrees. As the Foreign Secretary recently said, “there cannot be peace, security or prosperity without women playing their part, free from violence and free from fear.” Question put and agreed to.
