Richard Landes, the UK's Special Representative for Afghanistan, reaffirmed Britain's commitment to standing alongside Afghan women and girls.

Baroness Smith, the UK's Permanent Representative to the UN, expressed deep concern at the Security Council over the Taliban's "increasing repression," calling for the immediate repeal of laws that legitimize domestic violence.

Landes stressed that the UK remains committed to a peaceful Afghanistan where women participate fully, and that Afghan women's rights must be respected.
