Several female employees of the UN agencies in Afghanistan have been forced to work from home after receiving direct threats and facing restrictions from Taliban-affiliated individuals, sources familiar with the matter told Amu on Friday.
According to the sources, the threats have included surveillance, pressure on family members, and written warnings urging women to cease reporting to their offices. Most of the cases reportedly involve employees of the U.N. Assistance Mission’s political and reconstruction wing, known as UNAMA or UNOCA.
