UN Calls for Increased Support for Afghan Women Amid Taliban Restrictions
The United Nations has urged international donors to maintain and increase funding for women's programs in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, where over 100 decrees have restricted women's rights since 2021. Girls remain barred from secondary and higher education, and many women face severe limitations on movement and access to healthcare. Funding shortfalls threaten the operation of most women's organizations, exacerbating a crisis marked by widespread mental health challenges. A coalition of 56 countries has called on the Taliban to reverse these restrictions, emphasizing the ongoing repression of women and girls.
