Progress made on Afghan women’s rights, says UN – BBC News


A top UN official believes progress is being made towards reversing bans on women taking part in public life in Afghanistan.

It comes as a delegation led by Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed has ended a four-day visit, meeting with senior Taliban officials in Kabul to discuss aid programmes and the participation of women.  

But the country is also facing an economic crisis. The death toll in Afghanistan from an unprecedented cold wave has risen to 78 as temperatures in many parts of the country fell to -30 °C.  

Snowstorms have forced the closure of many key highways and roads, hampering the delivery of aid.
