The United Nations mission in Afghanistan has accused the Taliban authorities of intimidating and harassing its female staff working in the country, including detaining three women for questioning on Monday.
Since the Taliban seized power in August last year, they have imposed harsh restrictions on girls and women to comply with their austere vision of Islam — effectively squeezing females out of public life.
UNAMA’s accusation came hours after a top UN expert warned the state of human rights in the country had deteriorated across the board.
Women and girls in particular have seen a “staggering regression” in their civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights since the Taliban came to power, Richard Bennett, the special rapporteur on human rights in Afghanistan, said in Geneva.

Send in the blue helmets and teach Taliban a lesson.
No fake! I cannot believe it!
I look forward to seeing millions of progressive women, and the entire LBGTQ community marching on the White House to demand that Joe Biden fix this unconscionable treatment of human beings by the Taliban. Oh wait, news flash, THEY DON”T REALLY GIVE A SHIT ABOUT ANYONE BUT THEMSELVES. Narcissistic aholes.
There’s only one word for this.
Shockeroo!
One of these days the radical Muslims are going to go to far. /s?
It is time to compose an angry worded letter
Ya think??????
Who knew?
Tigers acting like…
tigers??
Liberals denying reality again.
Instead they’ll send a strongly worded letter.
And put it on their permanent record.
That’s a switch! Isn’t it the UN that is accused of harassing, molesting, etc, the local females?
One in three UN workers say they’ve been sexually harassed
The Tollybon probably has a better record than that.
Sexual harassment and assault rife at United Nations, staff claimThe United Nations has allowed sexual harassment and assault to flourish in its offices around the world, with accusers ignored and perpetrators free to act with impunity, the Guardian has been told.
Dozens of current and former UN employees described a culture of silence across the organisation and a flawed grievance system that is stacked against victims.
Oh thank god, at first reading I thought there was an Assault Rifle at the UN. Nothing really to worry about, moving on.
The search return on DuckDuckGo actually changed ‘rife’ to ‘rifle.’
I almost missed it when I pulled up the actual page.
That tells you what their algorithms are programmed to do.
The Taliboyz should get the female staff to show them how to fly those UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters Jo Jo the Pedophile gave them instead of crashing them all to hell.
And of course the progressives really don’t care about the women assaulted, but their heads would explode if there was an AR found at the UN. Too bad the method used in the 1966 Batman movie couldn’t be used just to fix the UN.
I recall being harassed by non-Taliban Afghans as well, being called a whore, demon and such. There’s a strong belief women should not leave home.
"Have another ice cream, Joe!"
