KABUL (Pajhwok): UN secretary-general’s deputy special representative for Afghanistan Markus Potzel has said restrictions on Afghan women are harming millions in need in Afghanistan.
United Nations Assistance Mission for Afghanistan (UNAMA) tweeted that acting UNAMA head Potzel Markus met today with Afghanistan acting deputy prime minister for administrative affairs Mawlavi Abdul Salam Hanafi.
“Banning Afghan women working for aid agencies and locking them out of schools and universities harms millions in Afghanistan and is preventing critical help reaching Afghan men, women and children.”
The Islamic Emirate recently asked public and private universities to prevent girls from attending classes . . .
