Lawrence Sims, Ireland's representative at the United Nations Office in Geneva, states that achieving justice and holding human rights violators accountable in Afghanistan is not possible without hearing the voices of victims and collaborating with civil society and international organizations. Mr. Sims emphasized that meaningful participation of Afghan women and girls in peace processes and politics is a prerequisite for attaining sustainable peace. He expressed appreciation for the struggles of Afghan women and girls and highlighted that the activities of civil society activists assist the work and direction of the UN Special Rapporteur for Afghanistan. He further stressed, "The heavy burden of advocacy and struggle rests on the shoulders of civil society, victims, and survivors of human rights violations, especially at a time when they feel unsupported by responsible institutions." This Irish official also underscored the necessity of finding clear and effective ways to advocate for the rights of women, girls, and other citizens of Afghanistan. He stated that there must be a platform to ensure that the voices of victims and survivors reach the greatest number of officials who have the capacity to take action and create change. This comes at a time when the interim government, after seizing control of Afghanistan, has deprived women and girls of education and schooling. Additionally, in its latest restriction, it has closed the doors of medical institutes to girls and women, while the health sector across Afghanistan faces a shortage of personnel. This action by the current government has resulted in millions of schoolgirls being unable to pursue their education. Moreover, women have been banned from going to sports clubs, restaurants, public baths, being examined by male doctors, traveling without a male guardian, working in domestic and international NGOs, and even in UN offices in Afghanistan. According to reports, if this ban continues, nearly four million girls may be deprived of education by 2030.

The United Nations Development Programme has recently announced that access to financial resources is a "major obstacle" facing businesses in Afghanistan. In a statement released the organization said that with support for a credit support scheme, it has facilitated the provision of over 23,700 loans for small and medium-sized enterprises starting from 2024. The statement noted that as a result, job opportunities have been created for more than 47,000 individuals. This program, which was launched in 2024, has mobilized over $71 million in private capital. Carolina Metzva, the UNDP coordinator in Afghanistan, stated that the organization is investing in the private sector in Afghanistan. She emphasized that the UNDP is helping to promote sustainable growth for families, particularly women in Afghanistan, by supporting the private sector. She added that for women and girls in Afghanistan, starting a business is often the last remaining option for work and income generation. The UNDP coordinator clarified that the organization supports businesses in Afghanistan by providing loans, training programs, and access to solar energy. She mentioned that the UNDP has contributed to the preservation and sustainable growth of 89,000 businesses from 2021 to this year. Ibrahim Tombi, a project manager at the UNDP, stated that this program is essentially about "risk-sharing." According to him, based on criteria set by the UN Development Fund, assurances are given to the private sector and banks to support young people who have "business plans and enthusiasm" but lack initial investment capital. Through the "credit guarantee" program, banks are encouraged to lend to businesses that have "growth potential." This comes at a time when the interim government has prohibited women from education and work in both public and private sectors following its takeover of Afghanistan.

The United Nations Women’s Section has recently announced that 7 out of every 10 women in Afghanistan are struggling with poor mental health. In a message posted on its X account, the organization called for international support for the women and girls of Afghanistan. The statement noted that years of deprivation from education, employment, and absence from public life have severely impacted the mental health of Afghan women and girls. The UN Women’s Section emphasized that restrictions have resulted in 7 out of 10 women in Afghanistan living with poor mental health. The United Nations has called for support for Afghan women and girls. The statement reads: "We must stand by them and continue to invest in the services and support they need." According to the UN report, half of the women and girls in Afghanistan only leave their homes once or twice a month due to severe restrictions on movement and access to public spaces. Furthermore, since taking control of Afghanistan, the interim government has deprived women and girls of education. In its latest restriction, it closed the doors of medical institutes to girls and women, while the healthcare sector across Afghanistan is facing a shortage of personnel. This action by the current government has left millions of schoolgirls unable to receive an education. Additionally, women have been banned from going to gyms, restaurants, public baths, being examined by male doctors, traveling without a male guardian, working in domestic and international NGOs, and even at UN offices in Afghanistan. According to reports, if this prohibition continues, nearly four million girls may be deprived of education by 2030.

On the 1,804th day of the closure of girls' schools above the sixth grade in Afghanistan, Afghanistan Rights Monitor reiterated its call for advocacy for the reopening of girls' schools. In a message published on its X account, Afghanistan Rights Monitor emphasized the right to education for girls and called for the reopening of school doors to them. This organization stressed that after five years of deprivation from education, girls still wish to return to their classrooms and pursue their dreams and goals. In its message, Afghanistan Rights Monitor quoted a female student saying: "I am an Afghan girl who still dreams of sitting in the classroom again. My books are waiting for me, and my dreams are alive." Afghanistan Rights Monitor further called for the reopening of schools for girls, emphasizing that education is a right for Afghan girls that must be restored to them. The deprivation of girls from education has faced widespread reactions from human rights organizations and international bodies. Human rights defenders have repeatedly urged the interim government to lift educational restrictions against girls and women. Since taking control of Afghanistan, the interim government has deprived women and girls of education and study opportunities. In its latest restriction, it closed the doors of medical institutes to girls and women, while the health sector across Afghanistan faces a shortage of personnel. This action by the current government has resulted in millions of female students being unable to receive education and training. Additionally, women have been banned from going to sports clubs, restaurants, public baths, being examined by male doctors, traveling without a mahram (male guardian), working in domestic and international NGOs, and even in UN offices in Afghanistan. According to reports, if this ban continues, nearly four million girls may be deprived of education by 2030.

UNICEF, the United Nations Children's Fund, has recently announced that the increase in severe malnutrition among children has heightened pressure on hospitals in Afghanistan. The organization published a report stating that we should not wait for children to reach a dangerous state and require hospitalization. Dr. Tajuddin Owyala, UNICEF's representative in Afghanistan, emphasized that intervention is necessary to prevent the worsening of children's conditions before they reach a critical stage. Mr. Owyala stressed that UNICEF and its partners need "more flexible and sustainable financial assistance" to combat the malnutrition crisis in Afghanistan. He added: "Across Afghanistan, 3.7 million children are currently suffering from severe wasting; they are severely malnourished, including about one million who are experiencing severe and life-threatening malnutrition." The report continued: "This is a crisis that disproportionately affects the youngest and most vulnerable individuals: nearly 40 percent of children hospitalized for severe wasting and medical complications are infants under six months old. Children under two years old account for 83 percent of cases of severe acute malnutrition." Mr. Owyala noted: "We are currently witnessing immense pressure on hospitals; since the beginning of the year, more than half a million children have been hospitalized due to severe wasting and are at high risk. The cases of severe acute malnutrition with medical complications have increased by one-third compared to the same period last year." The rise in child malnutrition in Afghanistan has raised concerns as many families face challenges in accessing health services and meeting basic needs.

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has announced that it is providing women entrepreneurs across Afghanistan with professional training, start-up capital, and access to larger loans to help them expand their businesses. The UNDP said in a post on its X account that the support is aimed at economically empowering women and strengthening their businesses across Afghanistan. The UNDP added that this approach connects different sectors of the local economy, meaning that supporting one business can indirectly contribute to the growth of other businesses as well. In its report, the UNDP highlighted the case of a woman named Azita in Herat, who two years ago completed a greenhouse development training course provided by the UNDP. According to the report, after completing the course, Azita received $1,000 in start-up capital, which enabled her to establish her own greenhouse business. The UNDP said that last year it also facilitated a loan of $3,791 for Azita, allowing her to expand her economic activities. According to the agency, Azita previously had no source of income, but now earns at least 10,000 Afghanis per month through her greenhouse and has created employment opportunities for six other people, including three women. The UNDP emphasized that supporting women entrepreneurs in Afghanistan can not only increase household incomes but also create job opportunities and strengthen the local economy.

The United Nations Development Programme has recently announced that 75% of families in Afghanistan are unable to meet their basic needs, including access to food, healthcare services, and shelter. In a statement released the organization mentioned that it is working with its partners to provide essential services to over five million people across Afghanistan. The United Nations Development Programme further emphasized that thousands of schools and healthcare centers in Afghanistan lack sustainable electricity or face limited access to power. The organization added that it has provided solar energy to 1,300 healthcare centers and schools in 19 provinces of Afghanistan. Additionally, the United Nations Development Programme stated that it has delivered 15.6 million instances of essential healthcare services to the citizens of Afghanistan. These services include treatment and prevention of malaria, tuberculosis, and HIV/AIDS. The United Nations Development Programme has also noted that more than five million people now have access to clean energy in 6,600 public facilities.
