Marking the 100th day since the ban on female Afghan staff, UN Women has issued a statement declaring that systematic discrimination harms Afghanistan’s future.
The agency emphasized that excluding women from aid work cripples the delivery of vital assistance to those most in need.
Restrictions imposed by the Taliban have reportedly forced the suspension of humanitarian operations in areas like Herat.
The UN stresses that female workers are essential for accessing and supporting women and girls in the country.
The organization continues to call for an immediate reversal of the ban, citing violations of fundamental human rights.
They urge authorities to allow safe access for all aid workers to prevent further suffering among vulnerable populations.
