UN decries Taliban actions against Afghan women, girls

A new United Nations report has condemned the Taliban’s systematic stripping of rights from women and girls in Afghanistan.

The report, released on Thursday, details over 100 decrees that restrict women’s work, freedom of movement, and education since the Taliban took power in August 2021.

The UN has called these actions a violation of fundamental human rights and urged the international community to take decisive action.

The report highlights the severe impact on Afghan society, including increased poverty and mental health issues among women.

The Taliban has defended its policies, citing cultural and religious reasons. However, the UN insists that such measures are unjustifiable and must be reversed.

This development has sparked renewed calls for global solidarity with Afghan women.
