On 2024-03-06, the United Nations expressed grave concern over the treatment of women and girls in Afghanistan, emphasizing the detrimental impact of the Taliban's restrictions on their education, work, and participation in public life. Roza Otunbayeva, head of the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), highlighted these concerns in a statement to the Security Council, noting the immense harm caused to the mental and physical health, and livelihoods of Afghan women and girls. The UN envoy for Afghanistan reiterated calls for the Taliban to reverse these human rights violations. Additionally, the UN Development Programme (UNDP) reported on 2024-03-08 that the Afghan economy, particularly regions impacted by devastating earthquakes last October, continues to suffer as these restrictions persist. Amidst global celebrations of women's rights on #InternationalWomensDay, Afghan women, represented by voices like Mahboba's, express a diminishing hope for the restoration of their rights under the current regime.
