Five years after the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan, women are facing increased exclusion from society and a dramatic rollback of their rights. Despite initial promises of equality, the Taliban have stripped women of their freedoms, effectively demoting them to second-class citizens. The situation has steadily deteriorated since August 15, 2021, with women facing increasing restrictions on education, employment, and public life. These limitations impact all aspects of their existence, confining them to the domestic sphere. The ongoing suppression of women’s rights constitutes a major human rights crisis. The international community continues to condemn these actions, but the Taliban remain steadfast in their policies.
