GENEVA, June 19 — A young girl living in Taliban -run Afghanistan provided the top UN rights body with rare, anonymous testimony from within the country on Tuesday describing a life of “slavery”.

“They are still trying to fly, and they still want to find an opportunity and fly as... high as they can.” But Richard Bennett, the special rapporteur on the rights situation in Afghanistan, told the council Tuesday that the violations against women and girls were “so severe and extensive” that “they may amount to crimes against humanity”.

In her testimony, Laila said she knew several women who had taken their own lives after they were captured and badly beaten by men using the “excuse” that they were not wearing a “proper hijab”.
