How has life changed for Afghan women since the Taliban took power? | DW News
As US and NATO forces withdrew from conflict-ravaged Afghanistan following two decades of war, fighters from the Islamic fundamentalist group made lightning advances, conquering the entire nation in a matter of weeks. The Taliban has now been in power there for two years.
As global interest in the war-torn country diminishes, many Afghans feel abandoned. Since the Taliban retook control they have imposed draconian restrictions on society, especially women and girls.
Despite initial promises to respect women's rights under Sharia, or Islamic law, the Taliban have since imposed draconian restrictions on women and girls. Most of them are barred from participating in public life, educational institutions and the labor market. Women's freedom of movement has also been severely restricted.
Yet, in an interview with DW's Biresh Banerjee, Taliban spokesperson Suhai Shaheen claimed women had made progress in the country.
Shaheen insisted, incorrectly, that the Taliban have not denied education rights to women. He also said that the Taliban are supporting women's progress by allowing them to study nursing and to specialize as doctors. His argument ignores the fact that such diktats take away women's autonomy. Women are also only allowed to be in medical fields so that they do not have to be treated by male medical staff.
Shaheen restated the Taliban's promise that schools and universities will be reopened to girls and women. He could not specify when this would happen. But, he said, "there is a committee set up to create an Islamic environment for that."
Women in Afghanistan, human rights activists as well as the United Nations vehemently disagree with these claims, and have found chronic discrimination against women in the country.

People are very submissive when it comes to Islam so I think that is why. You could say its one of the downsides
Many Afghan women , engaging in civil disobedience , due to the unfortunate rules being applied by the Taliban , is to feel the abundance of courage to stand up for their rights and freedom , the gratitude for a democracy that still invites them to speak from their hearts , to act from their conscience and have faith in the consequences of moral actions . How far should one accept the bitter rules of the society , ruled by uncertainties , one lives in ? Or rather , at what point does conformity becomes unacceptable in this situation ? Only by answering such question does the conscience truly define itself ...

It is clear that the interviewees were selected among the women in order to reduce the crimes of the Taliban. For example, the first interviewee says that suicide attacks have decreased. When the terrorists were in power, did you expect them to commit suicide? Can a woman in Kandahar, Helmand, Herat, Badakhshan, Takhar, etc. leave the house with the clothes that these women are wearing in front of the camera? While women in Afghanistan cannot leave the house without being accompanied by a man, this report is an attempt to purge the Taliban.

Afganistan isnt a country its a bunch of villages all under taliban control. They dont see themselves as one nation and thats why its very hard to make change.

That's why states has to be secular to be ruled normally. Religion (ideology) should be a choice and not forced upon to those which prefer to not believe of believe in something else and want to live by those beliefs. In the end governing is about facts and results and belief stays belief.

I see it as biased, hateful and trying to promote a false narrative - just like WMD of Iraq was promoted by USA!
My son is a combat engineer in the United States Army. He said we gave them billions of dollars of equipment and ammunition. We gave them billions of dollars in training for 20 years. If they wanted to, they could have fought well against the Taliban. Instead they welcomed them in. They want them there. So now the Taliban have US equipment and loyal people because Afghanistan let the Taliban back in. My son had issues when he got back because of what he went through over there. I don’t feel sorry for them at all. They could have had a lot more freedoms if they wanted it and had fought for it. It was there stupidity.

What a shame, the Taliban are not proud of their women's talents in arts and design. I imagine these designs to be beautiful, unique and rare gift.
"The Breadwinner" was my recent watch that reacquainted me with this tragedy.
And there are people shouting in India that Hinduism / Sanatana Dharma needs to be eradicated cause of regressiveness. None of our texts about Dharma and History took away freedom of women, they were well learned and well trained in all arts and science ( archery, horse riding, sword fighting etc ) . It’s people like these Talibani mentality who created the mess . Now explain this .

Americans provided the afghans with everything they needed to fight the talibans except for courage and dignity. Those things you can’t buy, loan or rent. You either have courage and dignity or not. Afghans chose to bend their tails and bow their heads instead of fighting. Now they get what they deserve. No sympathy.

My current community college lab partner is Afghani, I learned bc i asked her if she was italian (for some reason her accent just sounded exactly like an italian one to me), and she whispered in the most nervous tone i have ever heard that she was from Afghanistan. I still feel incredibly bad for accidentally pushing her to out this specific national origin- especially ever since, as she’s dropped little hints that she’s very recently moved to my country. The girl at 3:10 has the most heartbreaking story, you can see the sadness in her eyes. I don’t know how to express the sorrow i feel to know that these women can’t pursue their own dreams in their homeland. And that some who are abroad outwardly express fear or embarrassment for their national origin. Nothing of note from my comment, just emotions man
This is so depressing.
Why don't they ask Allah to help instead of the international community.
Taliban 🤢🤮🤮🤮
So sad! It’s crazy how in 2024 we still have countries living like this!
Well done - reporting the truth, think he got a little frazzled. The women aren’t heard, just being limited and suppressed a part of the Taliban ideology like you mentioned, very sad but their culture.
I like the way this reporter is grilling the Taliban representative. I hope every Afghanistan woman, girl get all their basic rights and Taliban free land 🙏
Don’t tell me there is peace in Afghanistan now. I don’t want peace while me as a woman suffer from my basic rights, I don’t want peace while I can’t even wear what I want or go where I want or even have not the right to read and write. I don’t care men live in peace while women are oppressed by them
The men of Afghanistan could have prevented the Taliban takeover, but they decided not to.
I’m glad the us left but wish that the 20 years spent there gave actual tools to be independent rather than creating an unstable situation that would collapse as soon as the military leaves. All the power to these women, I hope things get better for them. I don’t believe governments that strip rites from half the population will be able to hold onto power for very long.

In all fairness, the journalist was rather rude and kept interrupting the man being interviewed. It didn't take much to just allow the man to elaborate his arguments and reply to the questions he was being asked. You can feel contempt towards the person you're interviewing, but you must remain completely professional and objective. That obviously includes listening to your interviewee and not just intempestively interrupting your guest because you don't agree with what they say.
