The first World Declaration of Women's Rights was signed by Ahmad Shah Massoud on July 2, 2000, in Dushanbe.
DUSHANBE, March 08 - Sangar. With his death, the declaration was never implemented, but its main provisions were incorporated into the laws of Afghanistan's pre-Taliban governments. With the rise of the Taliban, it may be necessary to pull this declaration again from the archives of history...
"We will never forget the other half of society, our women. Let them decide their own fate."
Ahmad Shah Massoud
During the period of jihad and resistance in the areas controlled by Massoud, in addition to the activities of other state facilities, schools for girls were also active.
The late Massoud believed that the ugliest and gross human act is the use of violence against women. Speaking to the European Parliament and the press, he said that Afghan women should have the right to education, the right to work, and the right to vote in the future.
"I consider it my duty to protect all human rights from extremism," he said.
Masoud, the leader of the Afghan National Resistance and the commander of the jihad, if he knew that one of the Mujahideen was eager to marry a second wife, he could not bear it and dealt with this person very exquisitely.
