Taliban Bans Afghan Women from Working with UN, Putting Aid at Risk
TL;DR Summary
Taliban authorities in Afghanistan have issued an order banning female national staff members of the UN from working, violating the fundamental rights of women and infringing upon the principle of non-discrimination. The UN is trying to reach 23 million men, women, and children with humanitarian aid in Afghanistan, and female staff members are essential to ensure the continuation of the UN operations on the ground. The UN Secretary-General finds any such ban unacceptable and “frankly inconceivable”.
