The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) announced on the occasion of International Women\u2019s Day on March 8 that women in Afghanistan have four times less access to official mechanisms compared to men. The agency emphasized that this wide gap has severely limited women\u2019s access to legal services and support.<\/p>\n
In its statement, UNAMA said that a significant part of this situation stems from the restrictions imposed by the Taliban administration on the Ministry of Women\u2019s Affairs and the Independent Human Rights Commission. According to the agency, these restrictions have weakened special support structures for women and reduced their participation in formal processes.<\/p>\n
The statement also noted that women\u2019s access to judicial institutions has worsened over the past year. The reduction in women’s presence in courts and the lack of secure and accessible mechanisms are among the concerns raised by the United Nations.<\/p>\n
The Taliban administration has not yet responded to UNAMA\u2019s remarks. This comes as international organizations have repeatedly warned about the consequences of restrictions imposed on women\u2019s rights and social participation in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
