Women are banned from talking in public

[Washingupdone]

Women through new laws issued by Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers, are now banned on speaking in public as a woman's voice is considered "intimate" and should not be heard. I feel so sad and helpless for their situation. At least I am educated and in this situation would try to limit birth control without my husband being aware of my actions, if I could.
Does anyone know how they can be helped?

And if so why are they here & why have they abandoned girls & women?
Some are here because they worked for British troops in Afghanistan.

They are refugees from the regime there and have brought their wives and children with them.

It's getting worse over there, truly dreadful that this can happen in the 21st century.

Thanks, you are confusing me though. You are against the idea of shariah law, you say that mosques in this country are pushing for shariah law to be introduced here (but you don’t name the mosques) then you send an article highlighting the benefits of such councils which as I mentioned, support in marriage issues, with only a couple of examples of negative experiences. Perhaps if these kind of shariah councils were in Afghanistan there would not be such an issue with the awful things that happen there.
Edit to add that of course noone should be advised to continue in an abusive situation. It is wrong to comment without knowing the details of each case though. I’m still interested to know what their sentence was though, unless you mean that it was simply to go back home and continue with the marriage? But then, it is not legally binding advice so the person in question is free to seek advice elsewhere too are they not?

Why not organise one yourself instead of waiting for others to act on your behalf?

There are millions of young, healthy Afghan men who came to Europe on their own leaving women & children to fend for themselves which is impossible as they were not even allowed leave the front door unaccompanied.

No. Only about 50. Western dress was normal back in the 70s. As was women being educated.

Yes, all those pictures from Iran and Afghanistan from the 70s are heartbreaking. Women had freedoms they can only dream about now.

I think the millions of Afghan men in Europe who have fled the Taliban leaving women & girls behind should be the ones organising the marchs & protests to advocate for the Afghani women they left behind, don't you?

So sad, the Iranian & Afghani women are absolutely beautiful, it's horrendous what they are forced to endure.

Are they denouncing it?

It must be awful to have had that freedom then see your daughters and grandaughters severely oppressed to near hostage status

As a regime it is something to be feared imo. Whether all men believe in it Idk but the ones that do, I would be fearful of their thinking and actions

Yes but every woman who votes for politicians who agree with this is voting for this stuff. If you take away women's reproductive rights and rights to divorce then you're not far away from her not being able to make her own decisions about her life.

How many women actually voted for Trump who said he wanted to overthrow Roe v Wade?

If they cared, as soon as they got to a safe country they’d be asking for help to arm themselves so they could take their country back and free their mothers, wives, sisters and daughters. I haven’t heard much about that.

Yes, true.
The ones near here are the refugee families.

It's a dreadful situation

What the hell happens to those women who are widows or single women without families? Do they just starve?

Look at those beautiful dresses hanging (the one on the right especially), yet look at the garb they are forced to wear. It's so sad seeing them subjected like this.

And last time I checked, Israel wasn’t systematically erasing the human rights of the female population.

Exactly or using interpretation to get the message out... They should be taking to the streets advocating for their women & raising awareness about exactly what life is life under Taliban rule...
The millions of Afghan men in Europe are here as they are fleeing persecution but they are doing nothing to advocate for their Afghani women. They have no excuse, if Afghani men in the west won't use every tool at their disposal to fight for women's rights in Afghanistan what hope do we have?

I'd imagine so, they can't leave their homes without a male chaperone, how can all those men just up & leave the women? Young, healthy men.. They are making it so easy for the Taliban.

Israel is currently killing women and girls. They are being raped and tortured by Israeli soldiers. 40,000 Palestinians have died, many of which are women and children. To suggest that Israel is some kind of force for good or makes women safe is surely a sick joke.

No, as I said, if you feel strongly enough about the situation you should take action yourself.

If you're just going to wait for other people to do what you think needs done you'll be sitting around for a long time.

Give over, Islam and the majority of other religions owe their success to the unrestrained oppression of women. The most successful religions are the best at oppressing women as the ultimate resource and that is a fact.

When you google Afghanistan women and see the freedoms women used to have . It must be heartbreaking for those women who knew those days .

Under 3s could go. After about that age they're subject to toxic male socialisation which they all absorb by osmosis“

What a stupid statement.

Well there are millions of Afghan men here in Europe who have seen the way women are persecuted first hand. Strength in numbers, why have these millions of Afghan men not started protests, advocating online, with politicans against the plight of Afghan me.
Also you didn't ask me directly, you referred to another poster but I am very angry & quite frankly baffled at the influx of young, male Afghan men deserting these poor women who cannot leave their homes without a male chaperone... When they get to European soil they do sweet fuck all to raise awareness or fight back against the regime. Why???
These are not "other people" as you refer to them, they are Afghani male citizens who have fled persecution, left women behind to die but are doing nothing to change the situation.. It is up to the Afghani's who escaped to demand the change they want in their country... if they want it.

I find it a bit disingenuous for people to be surprised men brought up in fundamental Islam will become instantly liberalised as soon as they hit Western shores. That men brought up in a patriarchal religion where women are viewed as inferior will suddenly start campaigning for women's rights.

Don't hold your breath.
