Afghanistan is world’s most repressive country for women, UN says
Fox News
The United Nations said Afghanistan is the most repressive country for women’s rights in the world, citing their methodical efforts to restrict their education.
Despite initial promises of a more moderate stance, the Taliban have imposed harsh measures since seizing power in August 2021 as U.S. and NATO forces were in the final weeks of their pullout from Afghanistan after two decades of war.
They have banned girls' education beyond sixth grade and women from public spaces such as parks and gyms. Women are also barred from working at national and international nongovernmental organizations and ordered to cover themselves from head to toe.
