Taliban imprisoning women, claims it will protect them from violence: UN

The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan in its latest report has stated that the Taliban has been sending hundreds of women, who have survived abuse to prison, claiming it will protect them from gender-based violence. Taliban, which has mostly removed women from public spaces, has also closed 23 state-sponsored protection centers, which offered refuge to victims of gender-based violence and helped them recover. The report said that officials from the Taliban regime told the UN mission that there was no need for such shelters. The Taliban has not revealed the conditions under which they are being held and what measures are being taken to protect them. These women also include protesters who have stood up against the regime’s harsh policies towards them. Afghanistan, under Taliban control, is the only country in the world which does not allow girls and women to go to school, colleges, universities and workplaces.
