Since seizing control of Afghanistan in August 2021, the Taliban has been the country's de facto authority.
The UN has called upon the Taliban to reverse the slew of measures they have introduced restricting Afghan women and girls' enjoyment of their basic rights and freedoms.
"The window of opportunity may be narrowing, but we urge them to take concrete steps - such as actively enabling girls to return to high school - that can lift Afghanistan up and give hope to its people," a UNAMA statement read.
Various rights group is calling on the Taliban to implement major policy changes and measures to uphold the rights of women and girls. Despite initial public commitments to uphold the rights of women and girls, the Taliban introduced policies of systematic discrimination that violate their rights.
Women and girls across Afghanistan reacted to this crackdown with a wave of protests. In response, the Taliban targeted protesters with harassment and abuse, arbitrary arrest and detention, enforced disappearance, and physical and psychological torture.
