KABUL, AFGHANISTAN - United Nations Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed has said Afghan women and girls continue to bear the burden of being denied their rights, with their hopes and dreams for the future remaining “on hold,” as Afghanistan marks five years since the Taliban returned to power. In a message marking the fifth anniversary of the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan, Mohammed said women in the country must not be abandoned and called for continued international support for their efforts to regain access to education and participate in the economy.
