A video showing two Taliban fighters stopping a young... girl in Herat province and inspecting her mobile phone has once again raised serious questions about the state of civil liberties in Afghanistan. Following the imposition of sweeping restrictions on women's education, employment, and movement, it now appears that even citizens' privacy is not safe from Taliban oversight. The suppression of women, arrests, and silencing of protest voices in Herat had previously sparked widespread concerns, but the inspection of mobile phones and scrutiny of citizens' personal information is regarded by many as yet another assault on people's fundamental rights and privacy.show more

From Badakhshan to Herat — Afghanistan is rising against... Taliban tyranny. The Taliban regime has carried out mass detentions of women in Herat, abducting young women overnight and holding them in Taliban facilities. As families and local residents protested these unethical and brutal actions, Taliban forces opened fire on civilians, killing at least two people and injuring around 20 others. This is a heinous crime against the people of Afghanistan — a direct assault on human dignity, freedom, and the rights of women. The world must not stay silent while innocent Afghans are terrorized for demanding basic human rights. Afghans across every province, tribe, and generation must stand united against oppression and tyranny. The struggle for a free Afghanistan continues, and history will remember those who stood against injustice. One day we will hold everyone who partook in these crimes responsibleshow more

The EU and its member states’ plans to deport... Afghan nationals are a disgrace. We rallied outside the EU Commission headquarters to spread the message that Afghanistan cannot be considered a safe country. Its dire human rights situation, deepening humanitarian crisis and systemic oppression of women and girls, make deportation a dangerous move and ignore the EU’s own legal obligations. Anyone deported back to the country faces real and well-documented risks to their safety and rights. The Taliban must be held accountable for their widespread and systematic human rights abuses.show more

From an Afghan women:- Four years! That’s how long... millions of Afghan girls and women have been waiting, for classrooms to reopen, for workplaces to welcome them back, for their dreams to breathe again. I was one of the lucky ones. I had the chance to learn, work, grow, be independent, and make choices about my own life; like any human being should. But I often think: this could have been the story of countless other Afghan girls if only they had been given the same opportunities. Education and work are not privileges, they are basic human rights. Until every girl in Afghanistan can study and work freely, the world will continue to miss out on their talent, ideas, and contributions. In just a few years, Afghanistan has lost what took two decades to achieve, especially for women. Decades of progress have been rolled back, taking with them the voices, dreams, and potential of millions. Today marks four years since Afghanistan changed in a way that put the future of its girls and women on hold. I stand in solidarity with them - those whose dreams have been taken away entirely.show more

How can Afghan women’s concerns be meaningfully discussed when Afghan women themselves are absent from the table? Any serious conversation about their future should include those who live their reality and those who continue to advocate for their rights. OICshow more
