The rights of Afghan women would be “pushed back” by the Taliban Human Rights News

A new intelligence report says U.S. rights will be threatened after U.S. troops withdraw from Afghanistan.

The Taliban’s “progress in the rights of women in Afghanistan” would “go back a lot” if the fighting group regained national power, according to an assessment released by leading U.S. intelligence analysts on Tuesday.

A report by the U.S. National Intelligence Council will reinforce the Taliban’s fear of resuming the harsh treatment suffered by women and girls under the 1996-2001 rule if the group is likely to dominate. Civil War.

“The Taliban remain consistent in their restrictive view of women’s rights and many of the advances of the last two decades would be returned if the group regains national power,” said the main analytical body of the U.S. intelligence community.

At the same time, the council’s “Sense of Community Memory” said it was likely that women’s rights would be threatened after a US-led military coalition. he retires, A discovery that reflects the conservative nature of male-dominated society in Afghanistan.

“Progress [in women’s rights] it probably owes more to outside pressure than domestic support, and suggests it would be in jeopardy after the coalition’s withdrawal, even if the Taliban make no effort to reverse that, ”the assessment said.

Joe Biden of the US President decision the withdrawal of the last thousand soldiers in the last month – which is causing the withdrawal of other foreign forces – is increasing fears Afghanistan may be plunged into a full-blown civil war that could bring the Taliban back power.

These concerns have led to blockades in US-backed peace talks, the Taliban said increased attacks about the departure of U.S. troops after the May 1 deadline for the departure of U.S. troops.

Before the US-led 2001 invasion was lifted, the Taliban imposed a tough version of the rule, banning girls from working outside the school and women from working outside the home, and banning them from being in public without male relatives.

Women who violated these rules were often subjected to attacks and beatings by the Taliban religious police.

The new report, however, noted that many of these practices have continued in government-controlled areas and have left “millions of women mutilated, widowed, impoverished and displaced during the war.”

The gains in women’s rights have been seen as a major achievement in the 20 years that the U.S.-led forces have expanded, especially in urban areas.

The Biden administration has pledged to continue with civilian assistance after the departure of U.S. troops, as well as for women’s programs. But he warned that Afghanistan will face isolation and sanctions if it backs down human rights.

Biden, however, decided to end his withdrawal before the September 11, 2001 anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion of U.S. attacks on al-Qaeda.
