Afghanistan, one year after

Véronique

On 15 August 2021, the Taliban entered Kabul and took control of Afghanistan.

Over the last year, human right violations against women and girls have increased steadily despite the promises that women would be allowed to exercise their rights to work and study within Sharia law.
Women and girls are systematically excluded from public life. The Ministry of Women's Affair has been abolished. Girls are banned from attending school after the sixth grade and working outside from home became almost impossible for women.
Restrictions on women's movements and bodies continue to escalate. They must cover their face in public and should remain at home except in case of necessity. 


In her statement about Afghanistan on the 15 August, Ms Sima Bahous, UN Women Executive Director declared " Decades of progress on gender equality and women’s rights have been wiped out in mere months. We must continue to act together, united in our insistence on guarantees of respect for the full spectrum of women’s rights.”


Indeed, the history of Afghan women's rights started more than a century ago and it is what I propose you to discover in my lesson.
