US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield has said that the Taliban's authoritarian and absolute misogyny is deeply painful and worrying.
"The United States has made it clear that any meaningful steps to normalise relations with the Taliban will depend on the group's actions, including the treatment of women and girls," she added.
The US ambassador wrote about this on her X social media platform handle on Friday.
"We think more is needed to hold [the Taliban] accountable and force them to change," she had told Afghanistan International yesterday.
Greenfield stressed that the Taliban cannot continue to live in a world that marginalises women from society and prevents half of the population from contributing to Afghanistan's development.
Conditions for women and girls in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan have deteriorated exponentially, she said.
