In spite of the Taliban’s prohibition on women working in Afghanistan’s assistance industry, the UN stated on Thursday that it would continue to assist the country.
Ramiz Alakbarov, the United Nations Resident Coordinator in Afghanistan, told reporters, “Let me make it very clear that the United Nations and humanitarian partners are highly committed to the delivery of life-saving assistance to the people of Afghanistan.”
Alakbarov claimed that Afghanistan’s humanitarian needs are “extremely immense” in a statement made after the G7 described the behaviour of the hardline Islamists as “reckless and dangerous.”
Without the involvement of women, we don’t think it’s feasible to deliver comprehensive humanitarian action,” he said.
“It’s crucial that we continue to stay and deliver,” he continued.
Aid never comes with conditions. You cannot put a condition on giving food or medical care to someone who is dying or in need.
According to him, the UN Emergency Relief Coordinator and other UN representatives will travel to Afghanistan in the upcoming weeks to speak with the Taliban leaders about the situation. The Taliban recently barred women from attending universities.
My interactions with the Taliban have led me to conclude that pressure is not the best method to find a solution. It is a dialogue. The past pressure on this movement has not been met with success.
According to him, conversations with the health minister were among numerous “productive” meetings that UN representatives have already had with Taliban leaders about the current state of affairs.
Without medical personnel, it is obvious that providing health services to women and girls will not be viable, the man stated.
According to him, the minister concurred that there shouldn’t be a barrier and the female service providers can resume their jobs.
We are focused solely on resolving the bottleneck and starting negotiations so that women can return to work and girls can return to school, based on the understanding that this is an absolutely essential right of others,” Alakbarov said.
“We have to concentrate on finding solutions.”
