A group of furious women set on fire the house of an Indian man accused of parading two women naked in a northeastern state where months of ethnic violence have left at least 120 dead. A clip went viral Wednesday showing two women said to be from the largely Christian Kuki tribal group walking naked along a street, being jeered at and harassed by a mob reportedly from the Meitei community. As the fire rages, the women -- members of the predominantly Hindu Meitei community, like the accused -- break down the walls and roof of the house with sticks. IMAGES
Afghan women protest in Kabul, defying a dissent crackdown to voice opposition to foreign nations formally recognising the Taliban government. Ahead of a United Nations-convened international meeting on Afghanistan in Doha next week, UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed said diplomats could discuss "baby steps" that could put the Taliban government on the path to recognition, albeit with conditions attached. But Stephane Dujarric, the spokesman for secretary-general Antonio Guterres, on Wednesday stressed that Mohammed "was not in any way implying that anyone else but member states have the authority for recognition" of Afghanistan's government.

Around 20 women gather in Kabul to mark International Women's Day. "Use the international stages, this is the second March 8th under the Taliban governance," said one demonstrator, reading aloud a statement. Afghanistan under the Taliban government is the "most repressive country in the world" for women's rights, the United Nations said Wednesday, with authorities effectively trapping them in their homes.
