“Where women’s rights are constrained, everyone is diminished,” Sima Bahous, UN Women Executive Director, told Forbes over email.

“One needs to understand that the Taliban has nothing left to ban,” Pashtana Dorani, an Afghan activist and entrepreneur, told. “And they are doing anything and everything to grasp the world’s attention, since they know that is the only way they can stay relevant,” she says. “It is sad to see the length at which the Taliban will go to make Afghan women suffer for political gain while their own daughters are still able to go to school,” Dorani said.
“A quarter of the 352 Parliamentarians, some 4,000 women police, 800 attorneys, 300 judges, 242 prosecutors, 13 women ministers, and eight deputy governors are now gone,” UNDP Afghanistan Partnership and Communication Specialist Won-Na Cha told Forbes. “In August 2021, the Ministry of Women’s Affairs was abolished, and National Human Rights Institute was dissolved, leaving no legal or judiciary systems for women within formal institutions.
In addition to the burqa order, it has been reported that women in some regions of Afghanistan are unable to drive or take public transportation. “Such constraints increasingly limit women’s ability to earn a living, access health care and education, seek protection, escape situations of violence, exercise their individual and collective rights, and act with agency,” Bahous said.
