The Taliban are moving to make women in Afghanistan 'invisible in society' with gender segregation and strict clothing policies, a United Nations official warned during a visit to the country.

Over nine months after the Taliban seized power, the Ministry of Virtue and Vice has expanded its reach and is now enforcing gender segregation and other restrictions, the"Afghanistan is facing a plethora of human rights challenges that are having a severe impact on the population," Bennett said, per the statement.

"The de facto authorities have failed to acknowledge the magnitude and gravity of the abuses being committed — many of them in their name — and their responsibility to address them and protect the entire population," he added."The Taliban stands at a crossroads. Either the society will become more stable and a place where every Afghan enjoys freedom and human rights, or it will become increasingly restrictive," Bennett said.

"If benchmarks are met such as the urgent opening of [high] schools for girls, the establishment of an inclusive administration that genuinely represents every segment of the Afghan society, and a platform is provided for dialogue and avenues for redressing grievances, the risks of further instability and suffering in Afghanistan may be mitigated."
