Bennett also condemned Rapid deterioration of women’s situation in Afghanistanwho saw their fate with the arrival of the Taliban severely limited rights.

The Taliban’s impositions range from strict dress code that hinders access to the labor marketand also ban on higher education for women all over the country.
