Residence Secretary Priti Patel has stated she would not imagine the “PR operation that we’re at present seeing” from the Taliban on ladies’s rights.
The militant group stated on Tuesday that the rights of ladies in Afghanistan shall be revered “inside the framework of Islamic regulation”.
However Ms Patel instructed BBC Lady’s Hour: “I’ve seen first hand the insupportable situations, the oppression, the persecution of ladies. That is not going to alter in a single day.”
The British authorities has introduced that 20,00zero refugees from Afghanistan over the approaching years shall be granted resettlement within the UK, with 5,00zero within the first yr.
Ms Patel instructed presenter Emma Barnett that she needs a majority of the 20,00zero to be ladies and ladies, and people from persecuted minorities.
