Future of Afghan women and girls hangs in balance as U.S. withdraws

of Afghans found that more than 8 out of 10 respondents said it was very important to protect women’s rights in a peace deal.

Despite the militant group’s dismal record on the rights of women and girls, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said it would write laws to ensure the participation of women in public life. In 2017, 39 percent of girls were literate compared to 20 percent in 2005, according to the special inspector general.

Department of State spokesman Ned Price said at a media briefing last week that the U.S. had"made clear that any country that seeks international legitimacy, that wishes not to be a pariah, needs to respect women and girls, and that includes any future government in Afghanistan."

When the two Muslim women in the photograph still feel the need to publicly wear hijabs in Afghanistan in 2021, there is a good chance that the Sharia Muslim Taliban will try to retake Afghanistan.

Because the Constitution of Afghanistan is, unfortunately, still a Sharia Muslim Constitution, the Sharia Muslim Taliban thinks the Sharia Muslim Taliban still has a chance to retake Afghanistan.

This is horror story. 😢

Afghan women and girls are screwed. They will be sold to old men to satisfy their lust, they will be raped, beheaded and used as property. Terrorists TalibanAtrocities

Who cares, my three daughters will be out of school, bright future going to be destroyed.

They better get closer to Jesus the Christ when government moves out Jesus stays

It wasn’t an easy road for other women to gain what they have in equality and it won’t be for them either. Good luck.

US report: Taliban will likely curtail Afghan women's rightsA U.S. intelligence assessment says any gains in women’s rights in Afghanistan in the last two decades will be at risk if the Taliban retake power after the U.S. withdraws later this year.

The fascists' and terrorist Americans are only concerned in tearing apart the dress of women, and call it ''RIGHTS''. Rest in peace. Afghans know too good how to handle their affairs. You the terrorists gave Afghanistan a blood bath, and now your concerns are well known? So in 20 years they havent been able to train enough people to protect themselves? Trillions of dollars wasted.
