<p>We are committed to prioritising women and girls in the Government's response to the situation in Afghanistan. We are concerned by the lack of clarity on Taliban's policy on secondary education for girls and continue to press them to ensure the full and equal access to education for all. We will continue to work with the international community to use our influence to secure women's and girls' rights to access education and jobs and to participate in public life. The Foreign Secretary has discussed women's rights, including girls' education, with international counterparts including at the G7 and at the recent 12 October extraordinary meeting of G20 Leaders on Afghanistan, where the Foreign Secretary represented the Prime Minister.</p>
