By George WrightBBC News
The UN Security Council has denounced Taliban government policies targeting women and girls in Afghanistan.
The Taliban have and within The Last week.
The 15-member Security Council said it was " deeply alarmed" by the increasing restrictions On Women 's education.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that the latest restrictions " must be revoked".
A statement from The Council called for the " full, equal, and meaningful participation of women and girls in Afghanistan".
It urged The Taliban " to reopen schools and swiftly reverse these policies and practices, which represents an increasing erosion for the respect of Human Rights and fundamental freedoms. "
The ban on female humanitarian workers " would have a significant and immediate impact for humanitarian operations in country" including for the UN, it added.
Mr Guterres said that the latest restrictions were " unjustifiable Human Rights violations".
" Actions to exclude and silence women and girls continue to cause immense suffering and major setbacks to the potential of The Afghan people, "
At least five top NGOs halted work in Afghanistan after women were banned from working for them by The Taliban government.
Care International, the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) and Save The Children said they could not continue their work " without our female staff".
The International Rescue Committee also suspended services while Islamic Relief said it was stopping most of its work.
The Taliban last week arrested five women taking part in a protest in The Afghan capital, Kabul, over the ban on female education. Three journalists were also arrested.
Since seizing back control of the country Last Year , The Taliban have steadily restricted women's Rights - despite promising their rule would be softer than The Regime seen in the 1990s.
As well as the bans on NGO workers and female university students - in the case of students, now being enforced by armed Guards - secondary schools for girls remain closed in most provinces.
Women have also been prevented from entering parks and gyms, among other public Places .
