On International Women's Day, the United Nations condemned the Taliban for its ongoing violations of women's rights in Afghanistan. The organization's special representative emphasized the importance of supporting Afghan women, stating that their rights must be prioritized. Despite the Taliban's assertions of commitment to women's rights, such as safety and autonomy in marital matters, substantial restrictions persist, including bans on education, employment, and public participation since their takeover in 2021. The UN continues to advocate for the lifting of these severe bans, stressing that women's exclusion from public life cannot go unacknowledged.
"We must stand with Afghan women as if our own lives depend on it because they do."
