Know nothing about the group that published this, but thought it would be of interest as there are often threads on FWR about the oppression of women in Afghanistan.
Since August 2021, the status of women in Afghanistan has frequently been discussed in terms of “restrictions” and “rights rollbacks.” This happened shortly after the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, the government under the Taliban, was formed. Despite the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’s assertions of moderation, women and girls are once again disappearing from public and social spheres. Following the government’s return to power, women and girls protested in the streets, only to face violence, arbitrary detention, and killings, including that of former Member of Parliament Mursal Nabizada.
While the language of “restrictions” is accurate, it risks understating both the scale and intent of What is unfolding is not just a series of isolated or temporary policies; it is a systematic governance project designed to exclude women from public, economic, and political spheres entirely. The situation in Afghanistan exemplifies gender apartheid, an institutionalised system that oppresses women purely based on their gender.
