The United Nations says one of its top officials in Afghanistan has met the deputy prime minister to discuss a ban on women working at non-governmental groups.
abc.net.au/news/un-meet-taliban-officials-over-women-ban/101821138A senior United Nations official in Afghanistan has met the deputy prime minister of the Taliban-led government to discuss a ban on women working for non-governmental organisations that Afghan authorities have announced.
The ban has raised fears that people will be deprived of food, education, healthcare and other critical services as more than half of Afghanistan's population needs urgent humanitarian assistance. Aid agencies have warned the ban will have catastrophic consequences and "hundreds and thousands" of Afghans will die because of the Taliban decision.
The deputy head of the UN mission in Afghanistan, Markus Potzel, met Maulvi Abdul Salam Hanafi in the capital Kabul to discuss the ban as well as other measures including barring women from universities.
