<p>The Taliban recently announced that they would not allow girls above the 6th grade to attend school until further notice, thereby backtracking on earlier promises to grant women above a certain age access to education. They have also imposed other bans, such as forbidding women from flying without a male guardian. MEPs assessed the latest developments in the country in a debate with EU Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell on Tuesday 5 April. A resolution was also voted&nbsp;during the plenary session. The take over of the country by the Taliban has resulted in women exclusion&nbsp;from government and education and their rights and freedoms are threatened. The international community, including the European Parliament, has called for&nbsp;guarantees for Afghan women and girls.&nbsp;</p>

Parlament će raspravljati o hitnoj situaciji u Ukrajini, više od mjesec dana nakon što je Rusija pokrenula ilegalnu, ničim izazvanu invaziju. Zastupnici će glasati o ažuriranju uredbe o transeuropskim mrežama, kojom će se otvoriti put prema modernoj, neovisnoj, zelenoj energetskoj infrastrukturi. Na dnevnom redu su i prava žena i djevojčica u Afganistanu, „pravo na popravak” potrošačkih dobara i reguliranje korištenja „velike količine podataka”. Sve to i više slijedi u Strasbourgu.

Sara Bahai hvaljena je kao feministička heroina kada je, usprkos svim izgledima, postala prva taksistica u Afganistanu, prkoseći strogim rodnim normama u zemlji. Bila je prisiljena pobjeći iz zemlje kada su se talibani vratili na vlast 2021. i sada se sigurno nastanila u Portugalu.
