"I leave with a renewed sense of commitment & purpose to the women and girls of Afghanistan. @UNFPA will stay with you, no matter what."
Deeply concerned by reports that de facto authorities issued a circular barring all female employees of national&international organizations from going to work. Clear breach of humanitarian principles. Women critical role all aspects of life& humanitarian response is undeniable
@unafghanistan is deeply concerned about the reported decision annouced today to suspend university education for women. Education is a fundemental human right. A door closed to womens education is a door closed to the future of #Afghanistan
