The Japanese embassy in Afghanistan tweeted: “@JapanGov donated $21M to provide life-saving vaccines for mothers and children, and water and sanitation for schools. Thank you @UNICEFAfg for working closely with Japan! @MofaJapan_en @JICA_direct_en.”

The Taliban-led government, not recognized by most of the international community, has pledged to disrespect women’s human rights and rights.

Since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, the humanitarian crisis in the country has been deepening. People lack basic amenities and are not allowed to speak freely.

Afghan women are facing a bleak future as the Taliban imposed a series of restrictions on all aspects of their lives in the 10 months following the Taliban’s takeover.

The United Nations mission in Afghanistan expressed concern over the announcement, saying the decision contradicted numerous assurances about respecting and protecting the human rights of all Afghans, including those of women and girls. (Arnie)
