US State Department: The Restrictions Imposed on Women by the Taliban are an Obstacle to their Recognition

RASC: With the intensification of repression and the implementation of Taliban policies on Afghanistani women, the US State Department says that the violation of women’s rights by the Taliban in Afghanistan is one of the obstacles to the recognition of this group in the world.

The Voice of America reported that Vedant Patel, the deputy spokesperson of the US State Department, said on Wednesday, June 21, that women’s rights are one of the most important components for the international acceptance and recognition of the Taliban group.

He added: “Until the Taliban do not give the other half of their population the same rights, privileges and access as the other half, they will not only hold back the future of Afghanistan, but will permanently stand against their demands.”

At the same time, Roza Otenbayova, the special representative of the United Nations Secretary General for Afghanistan Affairs, on Wednesday, June 21, at the meeting of the Security Council of this organization, asked the Taliban to cancel the restrictions imposed on Afghanistani women and girls in order to recognize them. Otherwise, it is impossible according to the formalism of this group.

On the other hand, Nasir Ahmed Faiq, the permanent representative of Afghanistan in the United Nations, has called the Taliban’s imposition of more restrictions on women an act of “extortion” by this group from the United Nations and non-governmental organizations.

He said at the meeting of the UN Security Council: “In the last two years, the international community has collectively engaged in discussions and dialogues with the Taliban, hoping for a positive change based on the common will of the Afghanistani people and the international community. But not only did they not fulfill those demands, but they rejected them altogether.”


After the Taliban regained control of the country in August 2021, they closed the gates of secondary and high schools and universities to women and girls.

In addition, women were prohibited from working outside the home, except for education and health, and their presence in public places was also prohibited.
