How did the Taliban steal a life the Afghan people built in 20 years? Details

Since the Taliban took power in Afghanistan more than a year ago, the Afghan people have been subjected to more human rights abuses than during the past two decades of US troop presence in Kabul. The first thing the Taliban have done since they took control is to bring women and girls home, deprive them of education and work, and put in very arbitrary controls on their clothes and the reasons for leaving their homes.

Before the Taliban

This not only deprives girls and women of their future, but also has a much greater impact on Afghan society and the status of the state in the world. The Taliban followed a similar policy, guided by a traditional genuine doctrine, when they previously ruled most of the country from 1996 to 2001. Since then, a lot has changed for Afghan women, especially in cities. She added that before the Taliban took power, female literacy doubled, even though it is still low, as women were keen on education and access to new opportunities, and some went to politics and public service. After 2019, the same percentage of Afghan parliamentarians was in the current Department, which was one of Afghan women with more than 300 female judges, 1,000 female prosecutors and 1,500 female defense lawyers working in the government’s judicial system, she said. Although women were underrepresented in business, there were more than 17,000 women-owned companies in the country, and women were also prominent in other professions including diplomacy, academia, teaching, journalism, and civil society organizations, public opinion polls showed that most Afghan men preferred these new roles for women.

Suppression and violation

According to the paper, with the Taliban takeover last year, girls and women suddenly found themselves deprived of everything to the right to life, without work and facing severe difficulties in life in general. But at first, there was some hope that the “new” Taliban would behave differently than before. Taliban negotiators indicated their willingness to accept a more liberal female role in society. However, unlike the Afghan government’s mixed gender negotiating team, all their male counterparts, she said. In areas such as political life are now non-existent, she added. Among human rights violations, a decree issued on 7 May forced women to cover their faces in public places, with the threat of severe penalties, another ban on 19 May on women to appear in plays and television films. Journalists are required to cover their bodies, heads and faces fully during reporting, and the Taliban prevents girls and women from rights that are considered essential to life in all countries of the world, foremost among them the Islamic countries that honor and promote women’s role.
