Women in Afghanistan are being obliterated—no voice, no face, no existence. The Taliban’s latest decrees are nothing short of barbaric: women banned from singing, reciting poetry, or even speaking aloud in public. Their faces and bodies must hidden from the world.
This isn’t just an Afghanistan tragedy; it is a stain on the global conscience, brought about by our failure to act.

The UN conceded to their demands to exclude women from the Doha talks, and in doing so, empowered this regime. The global community’s silence has enabled their brutal tyranny. Global leaders, through their inaction, are accomplices to this cruelty and the most extreme Islamist misogyny imaginable.
The time for platitudes is over. We must stop the Taliban’s free rein, impose strict conditions on any aid to Afghanistan. We must push for an ICC investigation against these atrocities. And we must issue warrants against Taliban leaders. Enough is enough.
Afghanistan’s women deserve the right to asylum anywhere in the world and for the world to create educational opportunities globally.
This is not just Afghanistan’s crisis—it is the world’s. This is gender apartheid. We must speak out, lobby relentlessly, and defend Afghan women with unwavering resolve. It is time to stand by them in their fight for equality, for humanity. We must act, decisively and immediately.
