The current situation of Afghan women after the Taliban took over

Everyone should be swept away by the news in Afghanistan, after the Taliban came to power, Afghanistan has completely changed the sky. And for women in Afghanistan, I'm afraid that's the beginning of suffering. So what are you really worried about? We need to know that twenty years ago the Taliban ruled Afghanistan for five years, and those five years have been heavily regulated. Every aspect of people's lives is full of taboos, and discrimination and restrictions on women have reached an insurmountable level. For example, work is prohibited, study is prohibited, you cannot go out without a male escort, and when you have to go out, you must bring a thick robe called Bulgo, wrapped from head to toe, showing only two eyes. What about women who did not dress according to the rules, they would be whipped in public, women would be forbidden to laugh, cosmetics were forbidden, and many women who had their nails had their fingers cut off. Under the Taliban's harsh edicts, Afghan women have no access to education, no way to work, and no way to make ends meet. What about the last? Some live by begging, while others become prostitutes. It is hard to imagine that this is the survival of Afghan women in modern society. But in fact, Afghanistan was once known as the "Paris of Central Asia" in the 1960s and 1970s. Women are free to dress, drive freely, watch movies freely, be encouraged to get an education, and enter the workplace. There is no need to live a life of being supervised by a man. This time the Taliban came to power again, and women who feared revenge began to rob the burqa, and the price soared from two hundred afghan afghanis to two thousand or even three thousand afghan afghanis. For poor Afghan women, this is undoubtedly worse. At the same time, Afghanistan, a conservative patriarchal society, has always had arranged marriages, and women who are dissatisfied with marriage and choose divorce. It will be ostracized by society and the family, and the Taliban's rise to power is a name for the lack of male guardianship. For women, it's almost a disaster. We all say that respect for women is a manifestation of social progress, and it is not difficult to understand why Afghanistan is not only one of the lowest countries in the world for women, but also one of the poorest countries. What about the Taliban coming to power this time? Committed to respecting Afghan women, in light of the panic caused by the present, I can only say that I hope so. So do you think that for Afghan women, the future is hope or hope?
