Women in Afghanistan have officially lost all their rights:
- They no longer have the right to attend school after the 6th grade.
- They cannot leave their home without being accompanied by a male family member.
- They are forbidden from speaking in public, and it is now illegal for their voice to be heard by other women.
- They cannot receive medical care without the presence of a male guardian.
- Ban on entering certain parks, gyms, and leisure venues.
- Restrictions on long-distance travel without a male escort.
- Massive reduction in the presence of women in media and television.
- Some female journalists and presenters have been forced to cover their faces on screen.
- Women's protests heavily repressed in several cities.
- Reinforced segregation between men and women in many public spaces.
- Increased difficulty in obtaining certain jobs, starting a business, or participating in political life.
- Some schools or professional training programs reserved for women have been closed.
- Restrictions on music, artistic, and cultural activities involving women.
- Heightened controls on social media and the public expression of Afghan women.
Nice to be a woman over there in 2026... And the list is still very long!
