Geneva: The Afghan govt’s treatment of women and girls in Afghanistan could amount to a crime against humanity, according to a U.N. report presented at the Human Rights Council in Geneva. In a report, the U.N. Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Afghanistan, Richard Bennett, found that the Taliban’s treatment of women and girls “may amount to gender persecution, a crime against humanity”. “The Taliban’s intentional and calculated policy is to repudiate the human rights of women and girls and to erase them from public life,” it added
