ژولیا پارسی فعال حقوق بشر افغانستان برنده جایزه مارتین انالز سال ۲۰۲۴ شد.

The Martin Annals Foundation announced that Julia Parsi, an Afghan women’s rights activist, is one of the recipients of the 2024 Martin Annals Award for Human Rights Defenders. The announcement states that this award is given to Julia in recognition of the important role she played in defending women’s rights in Afghanistan.
Andrea Praso, the executive director of this foundation , said: “We are happy that the Martin Annals Foundation is honoring Julia Parsi with this award. “This award recognizes Julia’s unwavering determination and unwavering commitment to defending women’s rights despite the Taliban’s efforts to silence her. It is also a reminder of the ongoing struggle of all Afghan women against their oppressors and the need for the international community to support them in their efforts to reclaim their rights.”
This award (Martin Annals Award) is awarded annually to those who have shown a strong commitment to protect human rights, especially the rights of women and girls.
It should be mentioned that Julia Parsi, with the takeover of the Taliban in Afghanistan and the imposition of restrictions on this group, motivated by the problems of women and girls across the country, committed to defend their rights. She launched the “Spontaneous Women of Afghanistan” movement in September 2021 and called for education, employment and freedom for women and girls. This movement gained momentum by organizing street demonstrations and numerous groups in Kabul and other provinces.
Mrs. Parsi has faced severe dangers, including arrest and detention by the forces of this group, on the way to fight against the actions of the Taliban.
It should be noted that recently, various institutions have awarded in recognition of the human rights activities of Afghan women, while the Taliban continues to implement strict laws and policies against women inside Afghanistan, practically oppressing them in all aspects.
