    U.S. expresses concern over Taliban's treatment of Afghan women

    Taliban’s actions against women

    The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) has reported that the Taliban has captured mostly Tajik women and girls from Dasht Barchi, an area mainly inhabited by Hazaras, as well as from the Khairkhana area of Kabul. The Taliban’s treatment of women has been widely criticized, with their actions being described as gender apartheid. Women’s rights have been severely restricted, with limitations on education, work, and freedom of movement.

    U.S. measures to prevent aid from going to Taliban

    In response to the situation, the United States has taken measures to ensure that the humanitarian aid sent to Afghanistan does not fall into the hands of the Taliban. Patel noted that "The U.S. government is in close contact with reliable institutions in Afghanistan: they assure us that the money of the American taxpayers will not be given to the Taliban."

    Humanitarian aid to Afghanistan

    The U.S. has been a significant donor of humanitarian aid to Afghanistan, providing more than $1.1bn in aid since August 2021. This aid is distributed through independent organizations working in Afghanistan, ensuring that it does not pass through Taliban coffers.
