Ensuring Liberty For Women In Afghanistan
Since the Taliban regained power in Afghanistan, there’s a lot of uncertainty around how the new regime will treat women. While previously in power, the Taliban subjected women to brutal oppression including things like removal from employment, forced marriage and sexual slavery.
