Human Rights Watch (HRW) criticized the imposition of restrictions on women in Afghanistan.

In a report, HRW said that Afghan females have been denied the right to an education, employment, and social involvement since the Islamic Emirate took power.

“Over the past two years, Taliban authorities have denied women and girls their rights to education, work, movement, and assembly. The Taliban have imposed extensive censorship on the media and access to information, and increased detentions of journalists and other critics,” the report reads.

"The current government should open schools and universities to girls without delay,” said Fazl Hadi Wazin, a university lecturer.

In the meantime, some female students said that they are very worried about the closure of schools and universities for girls in Afghanistan.

"We haven't gone to school for three years. One year because of corona and two years because of the Islamic Emirate. We hoped that schools would be opened for us, but they were not opened,” said Shakeba, a student.

"I ask the Taliban leaders to let us continue our education,” said Farahnaz, another student.

Gordon Brown, the former prime minister of the UK, in an interview with BBC said that the “Taliban’s” treatment of women and girls should be declared a crime against humanity.

He said that the Afghan government has severely restricted the freedom of women and girls since regaining power in 2021.

This comes as the Islamic Emirate has already asked the countries of the world not to interfere in the internal affairs of Afghanistan.
