Under the Taliban’s current regime, Afghanistan faces an unprecedented erosion of civil freedoms, especially for women. Deprived of their fundamental rights to education, work, and participation in public life, Afghan women endure a gender apartheid that starkly contrasts with international norms. The Taliban’s oppressive policies have not only marginalized half of Afghanistan’s population but have also exacerbated an already dire humanitarian crisis. Adding to the calamity, the suspension of humanitarian aid to Afghanistan threatens to plunge millions into deeper poverty, heightening insecurity and fueling migration flows to neighboring countries. The situation is a grim reminder of the pressing need for sustainable solutions to stabilize Afghanistan’s economy and political landscape.
