Dear Excellency / Dear colleagues
We hope this email finds you all respect Excellency and Partners well.
The Afghanistan Independent Bar Association (“AIBA”) was established in 2008 under Afghanistan’s Advocates Law. The AIBA’s raison deter is to oversee the licensing and regulation of lawyers, promote professional excellence and equal opportunity in the legal industry, train future lawyers, and to champion the rule of law and social justice. The AIBA has established itself as an independent institution furthering fundamental rights, due process, judicial independence, the rule of law, and democratic values. Within a decade, the AIBA established the status of lawyers in Afghan legal society, with over 5500 defense lawyers, among this number more than 25% are women. The AIBAIE played a key role in providing justice, supporting the rule of law, and protecting the rights of citizens. Sins the Taliban’s rise to power resulted more than 25% of the female members of AIBA are being held in their homes with an unclear future and are unable to engage in legal activities and other members live are in a very critical situation.
With heartfelt gratitude for your cooperation, solidarity, and lasting commitment to supporting women, we are pleased to attach the announcement of the Afghanistan Independent Bar Association in exile on the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (November 25).
Once again, we sincerely appreciate your support and kindly request you to join us in the 16-day campaign and be the voice of imprisoned women in Afghanistan.
We look forward to your valuable collaboration.
warm Regard
