The restrictions imposed by Taliban authorities are increasingly oppressive, especially for Afghan women and girls. These measures include severe limitations on education, work, and freedom of movement for women in Afghanistan.
The UN classified the international response to these restrictions as a "deafening silence," criticizing the lack of concrete action by the international community in the face of deteriorating human rights in the country.
The organization calls on the international community to increase pressure on the Taliban to reverse these oppressive policies and restore the basic rights of women and girls in Afghanistan.
