UN Women in Afghanistan suspended work
UN Women Afghanistan has announced that it will never work with the men's team in Afghanistan in an environment where women are restricted.After the ban on women's work in national and international institutions by the Taliban government in Afghanistan, the work of women in all UN offices in that country was suspended.
According to a News Agency, UN Women stated: "In Afghanistan, there are still restrictions on the work of women in UN offices." The statement emphasized that UN missions were not contested anywhere in the world except in Afghanistan. UN Women also explained that 70% of its staff and 5% of staff in all UN-affiliated offices are women.
The Taliban government in Afghanistan has not yet clarified the ban on women from working in UN offices, but some of its representatives stressed that these issues are related to the internal affairs of Afghanistan.
Most of the countries that provide support to Afghanistan have reduced humanitarian aid to this country, due to the Taliban's ban on the work of women. Currently, most of the UN offices, such as UNICEF, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), UNESCO and several others, are facing a shortage of funds for Afghanistan.
The UN says that Afghanistan is facing a humanitarian crisis, and the level of poverty and malnutrition among children and nursing mothers is growing every day.
UN Women also said that the ban on women working in Afghanistan violates the values they believe in and on which the international community is based.
