Richard Bennett, the UN Special Rapporteur on Afghanistan for the Human Rights Council (HRC), says he will present his report on recent worrying developments in the country in Geneva.
Bennett wrote on X on Friday, 20 February, that he will present this report at the 61st session of the HRC on February 26 in Geneva.
He added that he has recently returned from Pakistan.
He also stated that his report will focus on women’s and girls’ right to access healthcare in Afghanistan.
“I will present my report on the right to health for women and girls in Afghanistan and will deliver an oral statement covering concerning recent human rights developments,” Bennett wrote.
This report comes at a time when the Taliban have legalized the beating of women by their husbands.
