The fact women and children accounted for almost 90 per cent of those killed in the devastating earthquakes in western Afghanistan was in large part due to restrictions placed on them under Taliban rule, confining them to a life indoors. That’s according to senior UN Development Programme (UNDP) official in the country, Stephen Rodriques, who said many men were outside farming or working across the border while women and children stayed at home.From Kabul, he told UN News’s Vibhu Mishra what he had seen for himself when he visited the deadly quake zone.
