Human rights activists accuse UN of 'legitimizing' Taliban at Doha talks: 'Everlasting harm'.

Human rights organizations and feminists have condemned the United Nations for agreeing to conduct talks with the Taliban without the presence of Afghan women, despite concerns about the militant group’s suppression of women’s rights in Afghanistan.
The Taliban seized power in Afghanistan after the Biden administration's botched withdrawal in 2021, and the terrorists used the opportunity to impose Islamic Sharia law. Since the Taliban regained control, it has banned women from seeking a university education, working for NGOs and vowed to arrest women for failing to wear a hijab based on its strict requirements.
