U.N. Male Workers Stay Home As Taliban Disallows Female U.N. Workers

 The United Nations said the 3,330 Afghan men and women it employs stayed home for a second day Thursday to protest the Taliban's ban on U.N. female staff working in the country as it continued to press for the decision to be reversed.

The United Nations on Wednesday called the ban an “unparalleled” violation of women’s rights, unlawful under international law, and unacceptable to the 193-member international organization.

Amazing what men will do to keep the gender hierarchy alive.
