In March, the Taliban closed secondary schools for girls in Afghanistan, hours after they reopened, saying they would remain "closed until a plan is drawn up in accordance with Islamic law and Afghan culture."

Last May, the country's supreme leader and chief of the Taliban, Hibatullah Akhundzada, ordered all Afghan women to cover their faces in public, one of the harshest restrictions against women since the movement's full control over Afghanistan.

These measures show a "pattern of absolute gender segregation and are aimed at making women invisible in the society," Richard Bennett, UN special rapporteur on human rights in Afghanistan, told reporters in Kabul during a visit in May.
