According to Heather Barr, associate women’s rights director at Human Rights Watch, “What is happening right now in Afghanistan is the most serious women’s rights crisis in the world today.”
Summary
Human rights violations in Afghanistan have increased to an unprecedented level since the Taliban takeover. The international community and human rights institutes have failed to prevent the devastating abuses. The Taliban takeover and its brutal violation of human rights in Afghanistan will have serious consequences, not only in Afghanistan but around the world, unless strong and constructive action is taken.
