Taliban bans women from working in United Nations roles in Afghanistan
Female Afghan employees of the United Nation have been banned by the ruling Taliban from working in the country, UN officials said Tuesday.
Despite initial promises of a more moderate rule than during its previous stint in power, the Taliban have imposed harsh measures since seizing power in 2021 as U.S. and NATO forces were pulling out of Afghanistan after two decades of war. Women working for the UN were not included in the NGO ban, but the UN raised fears that women working for the UN could be targeted.
Dujarric said female staff members are essential to executing life-saving U.N. operations on the ground, saying that out of a population of about 40 million people, “we’re trying to reach 23 million men, women and children with humanitarian aid.”
