Amnesty International: Afghan Women Face the Most Severe Forms of Discrimination and Systematic Abuses

The organization said today, Monday (November 25), that in annual campaign "16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence," it will highlight the violence against Afghan women.

Amnesty International emphasized that during this campaign, it will address the continuous violation of women’s rights in Afghanistan, reflect the voices of Afghan women and girls and human rights defenders, and will present its request to compel the international community to hold the Taliban accountable.

The organization also called on people around the world to join this campaign and show solidarity with Afghan women and girls.

It is worth mentioning that the global campaign "16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence" is organized annually by the United Nations and human rights organizations, starting on November 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, and continuing until December 10, International Human Rights Day.

This comes as the Taliban, since their return to power in Afghanistan, have imposed widespread restrictions on the rights and fundamental freedoms of women, depriving them of their basic rights, including the right to work and education. The group has also been accused of widespread suppression of women and committing various forms of violence, including sexual violence, against them.
