Genocide Watch: Women and Girls in Afghanistan Face Gross Violations of Human Rights

October 17, 2024

Zan News

Zan News: The organization "Genocide Watch" has stated in its latest report that women and girls in Afghanistan are facing a bitter and concerning reality known as "gross violations of human rights" following the Taliban's takeover of the country.

The report emphasizes that the Taliban has severely restricted the rights and freedoms of women and girls by establishing a structure of "gender apartheid."

It states: "Gender apartheid in Afghanistan is a gross violation of human rights and a betrayal of the country's people. The Taliban has created a society where women are treated as second-class citizens and are deprived of their fundamental freedoms."

According to the organization, this situation has a devastating impact on the lives of women and girls in Afghanistan, stripping them of their human rights and essential freedoms.

Genocide Watch further notes that the current situation has severely disrupted Afghanistan's progress as a nation, as women are essential for the social, economic, and political development of the country.

The organization also highlights the exclusion of girls over the age of eleven from schools and the serious threats facing millions of women and girls, describing this state of affairs as the "erasure of women from public life" and a disregard for their abilities to contribute to the social and economic development of the country.

The report emphasizes that the Taliban, through deceptive propaganda, attribute these restrictions to "traditional values" and are attempting to conceal the reality of "gender apartheid" as a cultural necessity.

Genocide Watch also stresses the need for the international community to condemn the "gender apartheid policies" and to hold the Taliban accountable for their actions, calling for global solidarity in support of Afghan women and strengthening their voices in the fight against this "silent genocide."

The organization points out that Afghanistan has now become a historical turning point for women's rights, highlighting the urgent need for international solidarity to address this "oppression."
