AFGHANISTAN: Stop sale of children, rights watchdog says
KABUL, 3 February 2008 (IRIN) - The recent sale of three Afghan girls in separate incidents by parents
blaming extreme poverty for their actions has sparked concern about the safety of poor children in
Afghanistan and the lack of adequate legal mechanisms to effectively curb such trade.
Afghanistan’s Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) has expressed alarm over the sale of
the children, who came from Herat, Kunduz and Takhar provinces.
“We are shocked over these cases,” Hangama Anwary, AIHRC’s commissioner on the rights of
children, told IRIN in Kabul. “They pose a serious warning about a possible catastrophe which may
affect poor Afghan children.”
In early January, a displaced family in Shaydayee camp in Herat Province, in western Afghanistan,
reportedly sold one of their twin four-month-old daughters for 2,000 Afghanis (US$40) due to their
inability to feed both babies.
On 27 January, the parents of a nine-month-old girl in northern Afghanistan’s Kunduz Province sold
their daughter for US$20, the human rights commission confirmed. In addition to being very poor,
both parents suffered from walking disabilities.
In neighbouring Takhar Province, another nine-month-old girl was sold for US$240, local Afghan
news agency Pajhwok reported on 28 January quoting the provincial governor.
In all three cases only female children were offered for sale.
