We share the concerns of the US State Department Report on Human Rights practices
in Afghanistan which is why Afghanistan is one of 27 human rights priority countries
for the UK. We recognise that although there has been significant progress in Afghanistan
on human rights, particularly women’s rights since 2001, significant challenges remain
and gains remain fragile. We have made long-term commitments to the country's future
through financial aid and political support. In return, we expect to see clear progress
from the Afghan National Unity Government, including on corruption, good governance
and human rights. The UK Government is working closely with the Government of Afghanistan,
local and international Non-Governmental Organisationss, civil society organisations
and international partners to improve human rights, specifically the status of women
and girls in Afghanistan, to enable them to participate fully in Afghanistan’s future.
