With 50% of the population in Afghanistan being women, many of whom are the heads of households – under the Taliban rule – they are now banned from working and even leaving their homes without a male companion.
Recent reports highlight further restrictions, such as bans on women’s voices and preventing taxi drivers from transporting them alone. This regression leaves many women struggling to survive in a society that is pushing them to the margins of society.
Watch the latest episode of Battlegrounds where H.R. McMaster and Adela Raz discuss the humanitarian catastrophe and systemic human rights abuses under Taliban rule, the lessons and consequences of the collapse of the Afghanistan Republic, and the future of Afghanistan and its diaspora.
