United Nations meeting to discuss response to Afghanistan, where the Taliban is in power. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is pushing forward with the appointment of a UN special envoy to improve the situation in Afghanistan.
Since the Taliban returned to power in 2021, restrictions on women's rights have become stronger, with women still being limited to attending elementary school, which has been criticized by the international community. The Taliban opposes his appointment, and the Taliban are absent from the meeting in Doha, Qatar.
