UNAMA Voices Concern Over Arrest of Women and Girls in Kabul
UNAMA expresses deep concern over the recent arrests of women and girls in Kabul, urging respect for human rights and immediate clarification.
The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) has expressed concern over the recent detention of women and girls in Kabul. The arrests have reportedly been carried out by the Taliban authorities.
According to a statement released by UNAMA on Monday, July 21, the women were detained for allegedly not adhering to the dress code imposed by the Taliban regime.
UNAMA warned that such actions contribute to the further isolation of women and girls in Afghanistan and foster a climate of fear among them.
The UN mission has called on the Taliban to reverse policies that restrict the freedoms and rights of women in the country.
Earlier reports from local sources in Kabul indicated that Taliban morality police had arrested dozens of women and girls in recent days. These arrests occurred in areas including Dasht-e-Barchi, Qala-e-Fathullah, Kote Sangi, and Shahr-e-Naw, with detainees taken to unknown locations.
These developments have sparked outrage among human rights groups and the Afghan diaspora, who view them as part of a broader crackdown on women’s freedoms.
The international community continues to urge the Taliban to respect human rights and uphold basic freedoms, particularly for women and girls, who have faced increasing restrictions since the group returned to power.
