UN: Taliban decision on women makes it more challenging to engage with the international community

The United Nations Assistance Mission in Kabul (UNAMA) has criticized the Taliban’s mandatory decision about face veils.

The United Nations has said the decision could make engaging with the international community more challenging.

The UNHCR office said the decision contradicted the Taliban’s numerous assurances of respecting women’s rights.

The Taliban’s Ministry of Enjoining the Good and Forbidding the Evil yesterday required women to cover their faces.
