On March 8, Roza Otunbayeva, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations (UN) and Head of the UN Deputy Mission in Afghanistan, highlighted the escalating danger of pushing Taliban-led Afghanistan further into poverty and isolation due to restrictions against women, reports The Khaama Press News Agency. She expressed regret over witnessing in Afghanistan a "disastrous negative investment" instead of investing in women, which inflicts severe harm on women and girls, hindering peace and prosperity.
