The United Nations says restrictions on women and girls in Afghanistan, including limits on education, employment and participation in public life, continue to have a serious impact on their fundamental rights.
The UN says the exclusion of women and girls from education and employment not only affects their lives and opportunities, but also has wider consequences for Afghanistan’s social and economic development.
UN officials have repeatedly called on the Taliban to lift restrictions on women and girls and ensure that their rights are respected.
The United Nations has also warned that continued restrictions on women’s participation in society could further undermine Afghanistan’s long-term stability and development.
