UN: Women’s rights non-negotiable; restrictions should be reversed

The UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) has reiterated that women’s rights cannot be subject to negotiation, and the UN Migration (IOM) has called for the reversal of the Taliban’s bans. “All women and girls have the right to live with dignity and respect,” stated UNAMA on its official Facebook page.

UNAMA said the Taliban had deprived women and girls in Afghanistan of most of their basic rights, particularly the right to education and work.
