The Taliban have taken multiple steps to walk back women's rights including forbidding education for girls beyond grade six and banning women from universities.

Summary

The Taliban have banned windows in homes that allow views of areas where Afghan women might be seen, citing concerns over “obscene acts.”

This new decree mandates blocking or obstructing such windows in existing and new buildings, continuing the group’s systemic repression of women since regaining control of Afghanistan in August 2021.

The Taliban’s policies have included bans on women’s education, public appearances, and voices.

Critics, including the U.N., warn these actions dangerously erode human rights, while activists call out global inaction over the ongoing oppression.

    The only solution would be the women rising up and stealing their husbands and brothers guns to foment a violent revolution. Sure some will probably be killed in the uprising but I’m sure it will end quickly because it would be very inconceivably stupid of the men to kill such a large number of women, then whom would they procreate with?

    I wonder what the region would look like without centuries of western capitalist oppression by europe and most recently the US.
