Afghan women: The Taliban have brought only poverty, rights violations and cruelty in two years

“The Taliban have brought only poverty, rights violations and cruelty to the country in two years,” said a group of women gathering in Kabul.

Kabul- A group of women held a protest in Afghanistan’s capital Kabul to mark the second anniversary of the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan.

Holding placards reading, “Freedom, Democracy, Social Justice”, “Jihadi and Taliban are two sides of the same coin” and “US/NATO are the guardians of traitor Taliban”, the women protested the ‘disgraceful’ agreement signed by the Taliban and the USA.

After the protest, the women read a statement saying, “Two terrible years have passed since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan. During these two years, the Taliban have brought only poverty, rights violations and cruelty to the country. Two years have passed with the tears of schoolgirls. In the atmosphere of repression, we, as a group of progressive women, have gathered in Kabul to fight against fundamentalist fascism of the Taliban and call on women all around the world to stand together against tyranny, exploitation and rights violations.”
