The UN's Special Envoy for Afghanistan @DeborahLyonsUN has had more meetings with Taliban leaders than any other western official since they took power. "It is very important that we meet with them on a regular basis, and engage them in dialogue," she says.

Promises made, promises broken! The #Taliban’s recent announcement that all #Afghan women must cover their faces in public & only leave homes ‘in cases of necessity’ is a violation of women & girls' fundamental #HumanRights & contradicts the Taliban's numerous assurances.

UNAMA is deeply concerned with today’s announcement by the Taliban that all women must cover their faces in public, should only leave their homes in cases of necessity, & that violations will lead to the punishment of their male relatives. Full statement: bit.ly/3ylUf7K

Afghanistan named world's unhappiest country; a place where teenage girls are banned from school, women are hauled off planes if they don't have a male chaperone and where you can only visit parks with your children when the authorities give you permission

The failure by Taliban authorities to reopen schools for girls above 6th grade is profoundly disappointing & damaging for Afghanistan. I urge the de facto authorities to open schools for all students without any further delay. bit.ly/3qr2sTq

German ambassador-designate Markus Potzel tweeted that girls’ schools beyond grade 6 remaining closed is not only a blow for Afghan girls who want to study and pursue careers, but it also contradicts the previous announcements made by the Islamic Emirate. #TOLOnews
