The mission employs around 1,187 personnel, including 799 Afghan nationals and 293 international staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the Taliban regained power, the group has enforced strict limitations on women&#8217;s roles in public life, including a prohibition on female UNAMA staff from participating in the mission, which complicates the UN&#8217;s efforts to aid the Afghan population.
