A number of female UN staff members in Kabul have been forced to stop working after being stalked and harassed by unidentified men in Afghanistan’s Taliban-ruled capital, a development that is impacting international aid projects in the war-torn nation.
Sources at at least three UN agencies in Afghanistan have described the incidents that took place in late May when their female staff members were followed home as they left a UN compound by a group of unidentified men in what they described as a campaign of “coordinated harassment”.
