Female Afghans Erased From Public Life in Five Years of Taliban Rule

Five years after the Taliban takeover, women in Afghanistan have been systematically stripped of their rights and effectively erased from public life. The United Nations agency for women's rights reports that decrees restricting the ability to study, work, travel, and act independently are now in place. Experts warn that these restrictive measures by the Islamist regime threaten to cause permanent damage to the country, following the events surrounding the Biden administration's withdrawal from the region.
