Protesting Women Call for Increased Pressure on the Taliban to Lift Restrictions on Women

In their resolution, these protesting women emphasized that Afghan women, especially human rights activists, journalists, and protesters, are facing one of the most severe human rights and humanitarian crises in the world.

According to them, the systematic restrictions, widespread violence, and the complete removal of women from social, political, and economic spheres in Afghanistan are clear examples of human rights violations and gender apartheid.

The resolution states that since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, women have been deprived of access to education, employment opportunities, freedom of expression, and participation in society.

Additionally, the protesting women called for the creation of safe and legal pathways for the exit and resettlement of protesting women, journalists, human rights activists, and former military personnel who are facing serious threats and repression in Afghanistan and neighboring countries.
