Zan News: In an article published in Modern Diplomacy magazine regarding the state of human rights and women's rights in Afghanistan, it is stated that the Taliban treat women with "gender apartheid policies" and have committed various "discriminatory" acts against them.

The author of this article, who is a researcher in international relations at Sriwijaya University in Indonesia, emphasizes the necessity of international coordination to end this situation and guarantee women's rights, identifying the role of the United Nations Security Council as the only possible and essential option to address "gender apartheid" in Afghanistan.

The author of this article has stated that the Security Council should adopt resolutions that condemn the "discriminatory" actions of the Taliban and call for an end to "gender apartheid" in the country, as well as sanction those responsible for these actions.

This article also refers to the importance of resolutions as an effective tool in pressuring the Taliban to respect human rights and women's rights.

This comes at a time when, following the return of the Taliban to power, the rights and freedoms of citizens, especially women, have been severely restricted, and girls have been prohibited from continuing their education.

Richard Bennett, the UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in Afghanistan, had previously stated that Afghanistan has faced human rights and humanitarian crises for several years, and the return of the Taliban has significantly worsened the situation for women, girls, and other groups, including religious and ethnic minorities and civil society. These restrictions have also negatively impacted the economic situation.

In addition, a joint consultative research by the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), the UN Women, and the International Organization for Migration indicates that the Taliban's law of "Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice" is enforced in a "arbitrary and severe" manner, and this creates a foundation for "suppression beyond women."

This research also shows that "the level of community support for the education of women and girls has significantly decreased," and in terms of economics, the financial and income situation of women has significantly declined, and their access to justice has also been limited.

Participants in this research have called on the international community to exert more pressure on the Taliban and take action to eliminate these restrictions.
