UN demands Taliban to reverse crackdown on women's rights in Afghanistan.

The UN Security Council has unanimously condemned the Taliban's ban on Afghan women working for the United Nations in Afghanistan, calling on the group to "swiftly reverse" its crackdown on women's rights. The resolution also recognises the need to address substantial challenges facing Afghanistan's economy, including through using assets belonging to Afghanistan's Central Bank for the benefit of the Afghan people. The Taliban says it respects women's rights in accordance with its strict interpretation of Islamic law and that decisions on female aid workers were an "internal issue."
