The Facts

  • A report from Afghan news service Zan Times is alleging that women in Afghanistan have suffered sexual violence at the hands of the Taliban after being arrested for violating the country's strict dress requirements for women.


The Spin


The Taliban has instituted a system of gender apartheid in Afghanistan, and these reports show just how deep and pervasive the misogyny is. Women are being sexually abused in detention for arbitrary dress code violations, which the Taliban has attempted to keep hidden. The world must stop appeasing the Taliban regime and stand up for women.
