RASC News Agency: On the eve of August 15th, the second year of the Taliban group’s resumption of control over Afghanistan, Afghanistani women’s protest movements called for a popular struggle against this group.
These protest movements said in their call on Saturday, August 5, that the “black history and unjust and oppressive actions of the Taliban”, especially the suppression of women and making them stay at home, show that this group is “incorrigible and intolerant”.
It is stated in this call: “Afghanistani women’s protest movements request all of you people who are tired of the oppression and darkness of the Taliban to come to the streets with your sisters. Both abroad and inside the country, at the same time as the second anniversary of black rule is approaching to fight for our collective liberation.”
According to women’s protest movements, the continuation of the rule of the Taliban group leads to the destruction of Afghanistan and the only possible solution in the current situation is to fight and stand against this group.
During the past two years, in the protests against the Taliban group inside Afghanistan, women have always marched on the roads or held protest meetings in closed places due to security issues and fear of arrest.
Meanwhile, there are ten days left for the two-year anniversary of the re-domination of the Taliban group in Afghanistan. The Taliban once again took power in Afghanistan on August 15, 2021.
This group imposed severe restrictions on women’s right to work and education.
They closed the gates of secondary and high schools and universities to girls, also prohibited women and girls from working in government offices and non-governmental organizations, including the offices of the United Nations.
The Taliban group also dissolved the “Ministry of Women’s Affairs” and replaced it with the “Ministry of Amr Bil Maruf”.
This group has also imposed a ban on women’s travel without Muharram, women’s going to recreation centers, public baths, gyms, and restaurants, and they have also closed women’s beauty salons.
The imposition of restrictions on the right to freedom, work and education of girls and women has made the Taliban group widely criticized worldwide.
The international community has always emphasized that if the Taliban group seeks legitimacy, they must first respect human rights, including the rights of women and minorities, and form an inclusive government.
However, after about two years of Taliban rule, the government of this group has not been recognized by any country or international organization.
