Voices of Afghan Women

Afghanistan continues to be a place of violence and instability, especially for women. Because of this, evacuation for women seeking to leave Afghanistan has been ongoing. Last month, the Taliban announced that women would be allowed to work and attend school—unlike the last time they were in power. However, Taliban officials directed that for now, women should stay home, on the grounds that Taliban forces are untrained and may hurt women. Many human rights groups question whether the Taliban will ever reverse this supposedly temporary stay-home policy.
