The Taliban deny Afghan women and girls education and restrict their rights, said Dr. Lauryn Oates of Canadian Women for Women in Afghanistan.
In the Taliban’s Afghanistan, “bit by bit, all public spaces get closed off to women,” said Dr. Lauryn Oates of Canadian Women for Women in Afghanistan.designed to systematically oppress and marginalize Afghan women and girls, from denying them education to restricting their movement. These decrees have effectively erased Afghan women and girls from public life, violating their fundamental human rights and, in essence, leaving them in a state of gender apartheid.
Afghan women protest against a Taliban ban on women accessing university education on Dec. 22, 2022 in Kabul, Afghanistan. Armed guards barred women from accessing university sites since the suspension was announced. In the Muslim world, sharia is not implemented in any two countries the same way, but the Taliban are very immune to other interpretations of sharia.
The independent education sector is finding ways to get tens of thousands of women and girls back in classrooms by circumventing restrictions. Mainly, they are doing it through technology but there are many in-person schools too, and all manner of tutoring and learning centers. In some corners, people are advocating for increased engagement or even recognition, arguing that it’s impossible to influence the Taliban without recognizing them, but I don’t think that approach is grounded in reality.
Remember that the Taliban’s curriculum revisions control what boys learn in school. They have turned the public school system into an indoctrination machine for an extremist violent ideology, and this should be alarming from a global security perspective, if not a human rights perspective.
