‘Through more than 50 edicts, orders, and restrictions, the #Taliban have left no aspect of women’s lives untouched, no freedom spared.

They have created a system founded on the mass oppression of women that is rightly and widely considered #gender #apartheid.’

[Sima Bahous @unwomenchief]

It's 2 years since the Taliban took control of #Afghanistan and imposed a systematic assault on the rights of women and girls.

The international community must continue to apply pressure for change.

Increasingly concerned by the risk of gender-based violence in the ongoing crisis in #Sudan.

Sexual violence is not collateral damage & must not be dismissed as such.

All parties must act now, and adhere to their international obligations to protect the human rights of women.
