Taliban is lying to the UN, women rights groups say

The women’s rights group known as the “Purple Saturdays Movement” and Afghanistan Women and Children Strengthen Welfare Organization (AWCSWO) have called the Taliban’s report to the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) an “obvious lie.”

In a statement on Thursday, both organisations dismissed the Taliban report and said that the group cannot conceal the truth or disregard the heinous acts committed against women in Afghanistan.
