On International Women's Day, the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) reported that Afghan women have four times less access to formal justice systems than men. This widening gap deprives women of safe avenues to claim their rights.
UNAMA officials highlighted that blocking legal channels and suspending key institutions leaves women highly vulnerable to abuse. The Taliban's introduction of new penal laws has further restricted accountability and protection for those seeking legal help.
Participants in the UN consultations strongly urged the re-establishment of women-led conflict resolution structures and confidential support centers. The global call this year emphasizes removing all discriminatory barriers to achieve equal justice for every woman.
