Fall of Afghanistan a Disaster for Women
There is no bigger disaster for women in recent times than the fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban:
National Geographic magazine’s famous green-eyed “Afghan Girl” forced to flee to Italy
Taliban abolishes Ministry of Women’s Affairs, turns building into headquarters for morality police
Taliban whips and beats women protesting all-male interim government
Taliban going door-to-door taking girls over 12 as sex slaves
Taliban limits women’s ‘rights’ to what sharia commands - covered head to toe and locked away unless in the company of a male relative
Taliban ‘Virtue’ ministry extols separating the sexes as ‘fundamental Islamic value’
Taliban lets girls attend high school in western province of Herat - for now
Afghan women forbidden from playing cricket and other sports where the female form can be seen
Taliban breaks into headquarters of all-female orchestra, destroys musical instruments
Taliban government bans women from TV dramas and requires all women to wear headscarves on-screen
How long would the average American woman put up with this?
