The UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said all women have the right to join the workforce, Dujarric said.
The Taliban government's decision will undermine many organizations in Afghanistan that are trying to help Afghanistan’s most vulnerable people, especially women and girls, according to the UN chief.
