Background
Overview
Examines human rights issues, gender inequality, and civil resistance in oppressive regimes; understanding the role of international bodies in advocating for human rights.
Under the Taliban's strict interpretation of Sharia law, women in Afghanistan face extensive and systematic human rights violations, including severe restrictions on education, employment, and public freedom. This has led to rare but significant acts of public defiance and protests, often led by women, challenging the regime's oppressive policies.
