“Afghanistan under the Taliban Government is the "most repressive country in the world" for women's rights, with authorities effectively trapping women and girls in their homes,” the United Nations said on Wednesday.
AFP journalists said about 20 women on March 8, 2023, held a rare demonstration in the streets of Kabul, calling on the international community to protect them.
