“The latest Taliban restrictions on the employment and education of women and girls are unjustified violations of human rights and must be lifted,” RIA Novosti quotes Guterres as saying on his Twitter.
Earlier, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, commenting on the Taliban's decision to remove women from work in non-governmental organizations, said that this would disrupt the distribution of aid and would have disastrous consequences for the Afghans.
Earlier it was reported that the Taliban ordered NGOs in Afghanistan to suspend the work of women.
