The Oppression of Women in Afghanistan: The Heartbreaking Reality of Taliban's Restrictions

It is truly heartbreaking to see the restrictions and laws being imposed on women in Afghanistan by the Taliban's Supreme Leader. The fact that women are being forced to cover themselves completely, with no part of their body visible, is a clear violation of their basic human rights.

The idea that women must be covered up so as not to tempt men is not only incredibly misogynistic but also completely dehumanising. The world seems to have abandoned these women, as there has been little to no action taken to address these oppressive laws. It is unacceptable that in 2024, women are still being treated in such a manner. The restrictions on women and freedom of expression imposed by the Taliban have been met with sharp criticism from rights groups, yet little progress has been made in terms of protecting women's rights in Afghanistan.

The 35-article morality law, which was ratified by the Taliban's Supreme Spiritual Leader Haibatullah Akhundzada, is a clear indication of the extreme measures being taken to control and oppress women in Afghanistan. The law, which is said to be in line with Islamic Sharia law, is to be enforced by the morality ministry, further limiting women's freedom and autonomy.

It is crucial that the international community takes a stand against these oppressive laws and works towards protecting the rights and freedoms of women in Afghanistan. The fact that women are being forced to adhere to such strict rules and regulations is a clear violation of their fundamental human rights.

We cannot stand idly by and allow women to be treated in such a degrading and dehumanizing manner. It is time for action to be taken to protect the rights and freedoms of women in Afghanistan and to ensure that they are able to live their lives free from oppression and discrimination. The world must not turn a blind eye to the plight of these women, but rather stand in solidarity with them and work towards creating a more just and equitable society for all.

In a world that claims to value equality and human rights, how can we continue to stand by and allow the oppression of women in Afghanistan to persist?
