Taliban Reacts to UN, Claims Democracies Have Highest Level of Violence Against Women

Saturday, 11/26/2022

Taliban has reacted to the UN’s stance on violence against women and said that "democracies have the highest level of violence against women".

Abdul Qahar Balkhi, the Taliban's foreign ministry spokesman, said that one in three women in the US experiences violence and is raped.

Balkhi has also claimed that "this is also true for other democratic governments".

The spokesperson of the Taliban's Foreign Ministry added that Islamic governments are obliged to take measures to protect women from a similar destiny.

The Taliban’s stance comes a day after the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) announced that Afghanistan is among the countries with the highest rate of violence against women.

UNAMA stressed that since last summer, many rights of Afghan women have been revoked or restricted.

After the Taliban took control of Afghanistan in August 2021, the group has imposed severe restrictions on Afghan women.
