Who did the United Nations send to Kabul to stand up for women? A man

 

The international community bows too much to the Taliban. Women and girls in Afghanistan receive insufficient support, Anne-Floor Dekker observes. 'Last week the new interim director of UN Women Afghanistan, Moez Doraid, landed in Kabul. A man. His appointment as head of the UN organization responsible for promoting the rights of women and girls is a harsh slap in the face for Afghan women's rights activists. In recent weeks they have been calling on the international community not to bow to the Taliban," she writes.
