The UN Special Rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association, Clément Nyaletsossi Voule, has described the situation in Afghanistan as “dire gender apartheid” imposed by the Taliban.
Addressing a press conference in New York on Friday, Voule said there are too many examples that demonstrate how the suppression of rights and the failure to listen to the communities and social movements in the context of conflict prevention and peacebuilding led to failed peace processes.
