Richard Bennett, the UN Special Rapporteur on human rights for Afghanistan, strongly condemned the Taliban's gender apartheid system, stating it is entirely unparalleled in today's world.

Speaking on International Women's Day, he emphasized that Afghan women do not need symbolic sympathy, but actively demand genuine respect for their fundamental rights, equality, and human dignity.

Bennett praised the extraordinary courage of Afghan women running underground networks and urgently urged the international community to provide flexible, long-term funding to women-led civil society organizations.
