Amnesty International: UN Security Council has fallen short to restore the rights of women and girls in Afghanistan

In a statement released on Thursday, Amnesty International criticized the UN Security Council’s recent resolution on the situation of women and girls in Afghanistan as insufficient in protecting their rights.

While the UN resolution condemned the ban on women’s work in Afghanistan, Amnesty International noted that it failed to hold accountable those responsible for the systematic violation of women’s rights or set out clear steps for restoring these rights.
