A look at the Taliban's restrictions on Afghan women in the last year and a half, and the

Afghan women and girls have been fighting and challenging since their birth. including family violence, forced marriages, child marriages, lack of access to education... and thousands of other problems  This is the forest and the law of wildlife and wild and predatory animals rules in it, this is the territory of this unwritten law that the more predatory the better!  And today, under Taliban conditions, Afghan women are fighting for their most basic right. The days are completely black and we burn to the bone and we are in pain, not because of fear, helplessness, doubt and surrender?!  We are from the generation of desires and butterflies, the generation of liberation, awakening and standing. We come back, we sprout from where we were cut, and we grow again  I am a woman and the meaning of my name is brightness. The unruly flames of fire...  In Afghanistan, especially after the domination of the Taliban government, the situation of women has been described as very chaotic and many restrictions have been imposed on women.
  When the Taliban took power in August 2021, they promised that they would make women participate in various fields of social life and work, but these promises were false and they did not take any action in this field.  In Kabul, the Taliban replaced the Ministry of Women's Affairs with the Ministry of Welfare and made all the female employees in this ministry stay at home. By creating the Ministry of Welfare, the Taliban added restrictions on women and girls.  Young girls who expected to go to school on March 23, 2023, the gates of schools above the sixth grade were closed to them again. Contrary to the commitments of the Taliban regarding the education of girls, the Ministry of Education of the Taliban government announced that the gates of schools above the sixth grade will remain closed to all girls in Afghanistan until further notice.  According to the Taliban's promise that schools will be opened again at the beginning of the academic year, thousands of girls, who were hoping for the opening of the school gates at the beginning of the new academic year, were told to go home again.  Even the gates of the universities are closed to girls and boys have the right to go to university. By doing this, the Taliban marginalized Afghan women and slowly want to remove Afghan women from the society. Unaware that a society cannot progress without a woman, Afghan women have an active role in the structure of the government and also in the development of Afghanistan. Today, Afghanistan does not only need doctors and teachers, but also engineers, economists, and professional artists...etc. If Afghan women and girls stay at home today, apart from the fact that the society will be pushed towards illiteracy, it will also cause economic stagnation.

If a woman or girl goes out of the house to study, she contributes to the growth of the economy as much as when she pays car rent, when she buys clothes, when she eats lunch, all of this creates a money cycle that causes the economy of Afghanistan to gradually grow. to get better, improved .  But these Taliban restrictions on women deepen the crisis in Afghanistan.  The most painful thing I heard was that education is not allowed for women, and especially engineering and computer science fields are considered permissible science for women. Today, Afghanistan is going through the darkest days of its history.  But no responsible institution in this regard did not help or take action for Afghan women's lawsuit, they say that the world has forgotten Afghan women. No country helped Afghan women because of their right to freedom and education, and it is possible that women will slowly be removed from the society. Afghan society has turned into a patriarchal society and a Taliban society.
