The awful UN's secretary general supposedly condemned the Taliban's oppressive treatment of women, which they ostensibly expressed outrage about:

The Taliban junta in Afghanistan on Thursday condemned U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres for denouncing its brutal treatment of women, claiming Guterres lacks the required credentials in Islamic sharia law to comment on the Taliban’s conduct.

Guterres was holding a press conference in New York City on Tuesday when Afghan International journalist Maryam Rahmati asked him to comment about “Afghan women and girls, who remain erased from public life under the Taliban.”

“What concrete steps will the UN take to hold the Taliban accountable for systemic gender apartheid?” she asked.

Rahmati was not engaging in hyperbole – the Taliban literally banned women from public speaking in August 2024, along with a raft of other oppressive restrictions on the behavior of women.

Before that, in December 2022, the Taliban banned women from working for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) such as humanitarian aid groups.

The U.N. World Health Organization (W.H.O.) pleaded with the Taliban to lift this ban for female relief workers after a devastating earthquake struck Afghanistan in early September, especially after women were left buried under earthquake rubble because male rescue workers were not allowed to touch them. The Taliban refused to lift the ban.

“Well, what’s happening in Afghanistan is absolutely intolerable. And it’s not only intolerable, it’s also stupid,” Guterres replied to Rahmati on Tuesday.

Guterres said refusing to allow women and girls in humanitarian aid efforts was “terribly detrimental to the whole population of Afghanistan.”

Unfortunately, based on where the UN's been going on the subject of Islamofascists in Gaza, Guterres' protests are unconvincing. He obviously won't support military action to bring down the Taliban again, nor any steps to make sure the terrorist organization is obliterated, and such offensive hand-wringing continues to make women living under sharia in Afghanistan pay a heavy price. If Afghanistan remains permitted to be a member of the UN, that's another problem that says virtually all one need know.
