A group of Afghan women have urged the United Nations to block the Taliban from gaining a seat at the body

The women are calling for better representation for their country during a visit to the organisation’s New York headquarters.

Former Politician Fawzia Koofi says “the UN needs to give that seat to somebody who respects the rights of everyone in Afghanistan.”

She was joined by other former politicians and journalists.

Since seizing power in mid-August, Taliban leaders have vowed to respect women’s rights in accordance with sharia, or Islamic law. But that promise, doesn’t seem to have been kept.

Under Taliban rule from 1996 to 2001, women could not work and girls were banned from school.

Women also had to cover their faces and be accompanied by a male relative when they left home.
