RASC News Agency: In the war-torn landscape of Afghanistan, the Taliban regime has ruthlessly imposed a myriad of oppressive restrictions on women and girls, creating a treacherous predicament for educated females who are now compelled to navigate an arduous path towards survival. These remarkable women, having invested sixteen years in acquiring degrees in fields such as law, computer science, journalism, and others, find themselves constrained to suppress their abilities and talents, relegated to toiling in laborious occupations like carpet weaving, solely to sustain their families and themselves.
In an impassioned plea, these resilient women beseech human rights institutions and international organizations to rise in solidarity and confront the suffocating limitations upon the Afghanistani women by the Taliban. The plight of women in Afghanistan remains dire, as the prevailing conditions in the nation have exacerbated the already alarming rates of forced and underage marriages. This distressing reality has landed Afghanistan at the very bottom of the ranking, placing it as the most hostile country for women among the 177 nations in this world; the stringent restrictions enforced by the Taliban only amplify the severity of the situation.
Despite hollow assurances by the Taliban that the Islamic rights of women are safeguarded within their rule, the unforgiving truth is that the pursuit of education is effectively denied to girls beyond the sixth grade in Afghanistan. The Taliban’s iron fist has banned their access to schools and universities, while also prohibiting women from engaging in any government or non-governmental positions. These severe edicts stoke grave apprehension among Afghanistani women and girls, underscoring the urgent need for immediate action to dismantle these oppressive barriers and ensure that Afghanistani women and girls are afforded the same rights and opportunities as their male counterparts.
