“Afghanistan was such a strong country. We were for freedom and education, but everything has changed from day to night now.”
Afghanistan, a country that resisted colonization, was once known as “The Graveyard of Empires.” Today, Afghan women and girls have fallen victims to institutionalized oppression by the Taliban. The situation in Afghanistan today is dire, but many are unaware of the full extent of the tragedy for women and everyone in the country.
When reflecting on the state of Afghanistan today, she stated, “If you don’t go to school, you won’t be able to communicate, learn and express yourself in the way that an educated person can. At the time I was in Afghanistan, it was unimaginable for girls not to go to school. It’s horrible to see women denied their right to education.”found that the denial of education and ensuing lack of opportunities for women in Afghanistan has prevented them from pursuing careers outside of the home.
The Human Rights Report continues, “The Taliban’s institutionalized system of discrimination and segregation is obliterating Afghanistan’s future female engineers, journalists, lawyers, biologists, politicians, and poets. This is a profound and mounting loss to an entire nation.” The report quotes an Afghan woman who corroborates this assertion based on her own experience: “When I am at home, I feel like I am in a prison. I feel blind. When I was going to school, I felt free.
