Female UN staff in Kabul the target of ‘coordinated harassment'
Female UN staff in Kabul have been stalked and harassed by unidentified men, impacting international aid projects.
UN sources describe a campaign of 'coordinated harassment' where women received death threats to force them to stop working.
The Taliban has denied involvement, but UN agencies have made operational adjustments to ensure staff safety, including work-from-home protocols.
The UN 's World Food Programme (WFP) has advised female staff to temporarily work from home due to intimidation, but continues to provide aid, especially to women-led families.
The Taliban 's interior ministry stated that they are aware of the reports and will punish anyone threatening UN employees.
