Geneva: The Taliban must immediately revoke their policies targeting women and girls in Afghanistan, the UN rights chief insisted Tuesday, condemning their “terrible” consequences.
“No country can develop — indeed survive — socially and economically with half its population excluded,” Volker Turk, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, said in a statement.
“These unfathomable restrictions placed on women and girls will not only increase the suffering of all Afghans but, I fear, pose a risk beyond Afghanistan’s borders.”
He said the policies risked destabilising Afghan society.
“I urge the de facto authorities to ensure the respect and protection of the rights of all women and girls — to be seen, to be heard and to participate in and contribute to all aspects of the social, political and economic life of the country,” said Turk.
On Saturday, Afghanistan’s hardline Islamist rulers banned women from working in non-governmental organisations. The Taliban have already suspended university education for women and secondary schooling for girls.
“This latest decree by the de facto authorities will have terrible consequences for women and for all Afghan people,” Turk said.
“Banning women from working in NGOs will deprive them and their families of their incomes, and of their right to contribute positively to the development of their country and to the well-being of their fellow citizens,” Turk added.
The move is the latest blow against women’s rights in Afghanistan since the Taliban reclaimed power last year.
“The ban will significantly impair, if not destroy” these NGOs’ capacity to deliver essential services,” Turk said, calling it all the more distressing with Afghanistan in the grip of winter, when humanitarian needs are at their highest.
Several foreign aid groups announced on Sunday they were suspending their operations in Afghanistan.
Women have also been pushed out of many government jobs, prevented from travelling without a male relative and ordered to cover up outside of the home, ideally with a burqa, and not allowed into parks.
The international community has made respecting women’s rights a sticking point in negotiations with the Taliban government for its recognition and the restoration of aid.
“Women and girls cannot be denied their inherent rights,” said Turk.
“Attempts by the de facto authorities to relegate them to silence and invisibility will not succeed.”

Women barred from entering universities by armed guards following Taliban ban..
A team of journalists saw groups of students gathered outside universities in the capital, Kabul, barred from entering by armed guards and shuttered gates
We need to support and fund the overthrow of that government, to stop to suppression of women, homosexuals and the rule international of law.
No expense should be spared, and we should involve American troops and military might if needed.

oh wait. nevermind.
Zero words...
Yep... that sternly-worded letter thing works every time.
Or else what?
Kill the Taliban and any of its other forms. Kill every last one. Quickly and mercifully. Every one you kill saves at least five lives on a global scale. Maybe now we know why you won't just kill them? You governing bodies are jealous and wish you could be them, so instead you want to use and control them as your muscle.
"We agree to abide by the UN wishes!"
“Islam is right about women, you dirty infidels!”
Or we can let people live in the type of society they want to live rather than dictate that everybody in the world needs to have a postmodern 21st century western european style woke government.
As long as they don’t conquest elsewhere, which is a problem with Islam.
How many tank battalions does the UN have?
pisslam doesn’t give equal rights to women. Much less many rights at all.
It wouldn’t matter; the primitives have shown that nothing less than complete extermination will work. They are winning the war with their wombs.
