The Taliban regime in Afghanistan is brutally suppressing women's rights. It was only after the Taliban seized power in August last year that they started changing the rules to confine women to their homes by restricting education, jobs, and their movement.

 

Took the help of clerics to implement the decisions

To show the world took the support of clerics to implement their decisions. Their government and private jobs were banned. Women have been intimidated, threatened, detained, and even abducted by Taliban security forces to prevent them from advancing.

 

Afghan women's rights activist Khadija Ahmadi pointed out that the Taliban have barred women from practicing in court as judges or lawyers. Before the seizure of power, there were about 300 female judges in Afghanistan. Due to the Taliban, all of them had to leave the country.

 

Thousands of families have gone to Pakistan, Iran, Turkey

According to Khadija, the Taliban's attitude is serious about women's social status and psychological. Taliban wants to establish women as second-class citizens. Especially young men and boys are wanted to be supremacists and women to be objects of use at home and their work.

 

Due to the restrictions, thousands of families have gone to neighboring countries like Pakistan, Iran, and Turkey with women. Pakistan tops the list of countries where a large number of Afghan refugees have arrived in recent months. Most of the students are now studying in Pakistan.

 

Order to teachers - Do not teach a girl of any age

After banning girls from studying in the university, the Taliban has now taken a step to completely remove women from education. According to the Wall Street Journal, the Taliban have banned girls from attending elementary schools. Teachers have been told that they will no longer be able to teach girls of any age. The decision in this regard was taken in a meeting of officials of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry implementing Sharia law.

 

Adult women will not even be able to go to the mosque.

Taliban has taken another strict action. It has also banned the entry of adult women into mosques. According to women's rights activist Khadija, the reforms that took place in Afghanistan in the 20 years after the arrival of the Taliban have now come to a halt. A day before this, demonstrations were held at many places against the order to stop girls from studying at the university. A maximum number of students took place in Kandahar and Jalalabad.
