Now, Taliban stops women from sightseeing: All ways Afghan women’s rights have been suppressed
www.firstpost.com
Since coming to power in August 2021, the Taliban government has made a number of moves to suppress the rights of Afghan women. The latest curb it has imposed is banning women from attending the popular Band-e-Amir national park 175 kilometres west of Kabul

“Not content with depriving girls and women of education, employment, and free movement, the Taliban also want to take from them parks and sport and now even nature, as we see from this latest ban on women visiting Band-e-Amir,” Human Rights Watch’s Associate Women’s Rights Director Heather Barr says.

      Seriously though, people are not black-and-white. You cannot just state some random criterion and postulate that whoever doesn’t match it, is just as bad as the Taliban themselves. Black-and-white is never how real life works.

          Hey, I know this can be an issue that strikes a nerve. That said, acknowledging nuance is important to having a productive conversation. Judging everyone by a set standard and having unkind words for not meeting that standard even before you know much about the person you are engaging with is not going to be productive, and it’s not particularly nice either.

          To be clear, I do not intend to ask you to tolerate oppression. By all means you should oppose oppression strenuously! But being harsh to someone you disagree with online is not the way to do that. In the future, please try your best to disengage from the conversation for a bit until you are in a better headspace.
