On Tuesday, the United Nations office in Afghanistan once again condemned the de facto authorities’ recent prohibition on female aid workers.
According to the statement, the Taliban government’s discriminatory tactics to severely curtail women’s and girls’ involvement in the majority of public and daily activities in Afghanistan.
The United Nationals are unable to comply since the UN has once again declared the prohibition to be against international law, including the Charter.
The UN also said that the country’s terrible humanitarian circumstances and the most recent prohibition on women aid workers prompted the organisation to make a horrifying decision.
The statement added, “Through this restriction, the Taliban de facto authorities want to force the UN to make an unacceptable decision between staying and providing help for the Afghan people and abiding by the norms and values we are duty-bound to respect.
The UN cautioned the Taliban about the ramifications and bad effects of their choice for the Afghan people.
It should be obvious that the de facto authorities will bear responsibility for any unfavourable effects of this crisis on the Afghan people.
The UNAMA is now undergoing an operational assessment under the direction of Roza Otunbayeva, and will hold any required discussions during this period until May 5, 2023.
According to the statement, the UN mission in Afghanistan will carry out the appropriate discussions, make the necessary operational modifications, and quicken contingency preparation for all potential outcomes.
The UNAMA has told all its personnel, including men and women, to stay away from UN buildings. However, in accordance with humanitarian values, the organisation will continue its life-saving, urgent humanitarian work.
The UNAMA argued that the most recent prohibition makes it impossible for individuals to access long-term and life-saving help and that it constitutes an international act of discrimination against women.
