Ottawa – Ahmed Hussen, Minister of International Development, said three years after the “Taliban’s takeover, Afghanistan’s progress on democracy, human rights, and education has eroded, especially for women and girls. Canada is committed to advocating for peace and security in Afghanistan while delivering aid to the region’s most vulnerable. We will continue supporting the people of Afghanistan to meet their essential needs, and promote the health, education and empowerment of the rights of women and girls.“
