On the occasion of International Women’s Day, Amnesty International has voiced deep concern over the plight of Afghan women and girls, urging the global community to break its silence against the Taliban’s systematic oppression.
The organization warns that a lack of political will and global inaction have hindered Afghan women’s struggle for their rights, allowing the Taliban to continue their discriminatory policies unchecked.
Amnesty International calls for urgent international action, stressing that defending Afghan women’s dignity is a fight for the dignity of all women worldwide. The organization urges feminist movements and human rights advocates to amplify Afghan women’s voices and ensure that Taliban crimes do not go unpunished.
