The foreign minister of Afghanistan's Taliban government to hold talks with his counterparts from Pakistan and China in Islamabad during a rare foreign tour
Earlier this week, UN chief Antonio Guterres told a meeting of envoys from the United States, Russia, China and 20 other countries and organisations that"millions of women and girls are being silenced and erased from sight" in the country.
Also this week, a meeting in India of foreign ministers of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation - of which Kabul has observer status - discussed Afghanistan without the presence of any representatives. In a statement issued from Kabul, the United Nations' mission in Afghanistan reiterated its condemnation of the ban, which"seriously undermines our work, including our ability to reach all people in need".The Taliban government has firmly rejected criticism of the curbs on women, calling them an"internal social issue".
Since returning to power, the Taliban authorities have imposed an austere version of Sharia law that the UN has labelled"gender-based apartheid".
