The Taliban\u2019s new vice and virtue laws that include a ban on women\u2019s voices and bare faces in public provide a \u201cdistressing vision\u201d for Afghanistan\u2019s future, a top U.N. official warned Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Roza Otunbayeva, who heads the U.N. mission in the country, said the laws extend the \u201calready intolerable restrictions\u201d on the rights of women and girls, with \u201ceven the sound of a female voice\u201d outside the home apparently deemed a moral violation.Afghanistan\u2019s Taliban rulers last Wednesday issued the country\u2019s first set of laws to prevent vice and promote virtue. They include a requirement for a woman to conceal her face, body and voice outside the home.<\/p>\n<p>The laws empower the Vice and Virtue Ministry to be at the front line of regulating personal conduct and administering punishments like warnings or arrest if its enforcers allege that Afghans have broken the laws. \u201cAfter decades of war and in the midst of a terrible humanitarian crisis, the Afghan people deserve much better than being threatened or jailed if they happen to be late for prayers, glance at a member of the opposite sex who is not a family member, or possess a photo of a loved one,\u201d Otunbayeva said.<\/p>\n<p>The mission said it was studying the newly ratified law and its implications for Afghans, as well as its potential impact on the U.N. and other humanitarian assistance. Taliban officials were not immediately available for comment. In remarks broadcast Sunday by state-controlled broadcaster RTA, Vice and Virtue Minister Mohammad Khaled Hanafi said nobody had the right to violate women\u2019s rights based on inappropriate customs. \u201cWe are committed to assure all rights of women based on Islamic law and anyone who has a complaint in this regard will be heard and resolved,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Taliban supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada said last year that Afghan women are provided with a \u201ccomfortable and prosperous\u201d life, in spite of decrees barring them from many public spaces, education and most jobs.<\/p>\n<p>The U.N. has previously said that official recognition of the Taliban as the legitimate rulers of Afghanistan is nearly impossible while restrictions on women and girls remain. Although no country recognises the Taliban, many in the region have ties with them. Last Wednesday, the United Arab Emirates accepted the credentials of the Taliban\u2019s ambassador to the oil-rich Gulf Arab state.<\/p>\n<p>A UAE official said the decision reaffirmed the government\u2019s determination to contribute to building bridges to help Afghans. \u201cThis includes the provision of humanitarian assistance through development and reconstruction projects, and supporting efforts that work towards regional de-escalation and stability.\u201d Otunbayeva is scheduled to report to the U.N. Security Council on the situation in Afghanistan on Sept. 18, three years after the Taliban stopped girls\u2019 education beyond sixth grade.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2024\/08\/25\/un-denounces-talibans-ban-on-womens-voices-being-heard-in-public\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/un-denounces-talibans-ban-on-womens-voices-being-heard-in-public\/\">UN denounces Taliban&#8217;s ban on women&#8217;s voices being heard in public<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,15827,402,15828],"class_list":["post-133256","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-talibans-ban","tag-un","tag-womens-voices"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133256","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133256"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133256\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133256"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133256"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133256"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
