United Nations: The Taliban is working to eliminate women from various fields

Ariana News Agency: A group of UN human rights experts said in a report that Taliban leaders were institutionalizing large-scale and systematic gender-based discrimination and violence against women and girls.

“Overall, these policies constitute collective punishment of women and girls based on gender bias and harmful practices,” the experts warned of a range of restrictive measures by the Taliban.

UN human rights experts say in their report that the Taliban’s policies, in addition to severely restricting women’s freedom of movement, expression, and participation in public and political affairs, have affected their work and livelihoods, leading them further into poverty.

They called on the international community to take action to increase the humanitarian assistance needed by the Afghan people and to realize their right to recovery and development.
