How to Respond to the Humanitarian Crisis in Afghanistan | Jaewon Suh | TEDxYouth@IASA
Transcriber: Tien Nguyen Reviewer: Yiğit Yıldırım So my name is still on solve in China, Academy of Science and Arts. I like to talk about how to respond to the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan. First, I'd like to give you some background information of the humanitarian crisis. By the decision of the president of the United States, the US military has strong. Also, the Taliban regime has returned. Thus, the Islamic extremist policies of Taliban regime are being implemented. Thus many humanitarian crisis are happening in Afghanistan. These are the critical crises occurring in Afghanistan. First, girls are not allowed to be educated. Also, the employment of women is restricted. Finally, cooperatives related to the United States and other Western countries are executed or tortured. So these are violating the human rights written on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in particular. Article two related to rights and freedoms without distinction. Article five related to subjection of torture and cruel treatment. Article twenty-three related to the Freedom and Rights to Work. Article twenty-six related to the Freedom to be educated. So how can you respond to the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan? So I have to introduce to you both ideas. First, protect the cooperatives. Citizens should protect the cooperatives to the United States and the Western countries. Countries must support and help all cooperatives to keep in a safe and stable condition. Second, support the refugees, the international society should provide appropriate support for the refugees through those actions. Refugees can be protected from any crisis through the United Nations organization programs or funds like UNSCR or UNICEF. We could easily approach and support the refugees. Finally, protect the women due to the Islamic extremist policies of the Taliban regime, women in Afghanistan are in desperate conditions where they can't work in proper place or cannot get any education. Also, without wearing burqas, they're threatened by Taliban power and always in fear of being executed before the international society. And the United Nations should respond to the Afghanistan government to change women's policies, of course, through that process. There should be consideration of the domestic situation of Afghanistan. These are the pictures I used, and thank you for listening.
