PRESSIVIO NEWS BRIEF · WORLD

Pressivio’s World desk has added the source report “Five years after Taliban takeover, Afghan women ‘erased from public life’” to its international monitoring stream.

Five years after the Taliban seized power, women and girls in Afghanistan have been systematically stripped of their rights, UN agencies said on Wednesday. De facto authorities have issued more than 100 decrees curbing education, work and freedom of movement – restrictions now compounded by deep cuts to aid on the ground.
