US Ambassador to the UN condemns the Taliban’s oppression of women and girls

The US Ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, said in a statement on Thursday that the International community will not remain on the sidelines while the women and girls are deprived of their fundamental rights in Afghanistan.

“The United Nations Security Council resolution unanimously adopted today sends a clear message to the Taliban: We condemn your repression of Afghan women and girls, and we call for the swift reversal of your indefensible edicts,” Thomas-Greenfield said.
