Three years after the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan, women and girls have been stripped of their basic rights and relegated to the fringes of society. Marie Sina of DW Business speaks with Nargis Nehan, Afghanistan’s former Acting Minister for Mines and Petroleum and currently a women’s rights advocate, about the daily reality of women in the country.

It isn't the world that abandoned the women. It is the afghan men who have. Especially those in the afghan army and police who walked away instead of fighting the taliban

[labahadihamimi]

Everybody gave up on these poor women .A country ruled by bearded misogynists

[samlatooni]

This tribe will always be in the stone

[asraalisultani]

The people who choose peace instead of freedom, they will lose both of them 😢

I was there in 2010 with the US Army and helped build a lot of schools for girls around the country. We all were afraid this would happen but it's just heartbreaking to see. hopefully it made some impact or inspired them to what could be. Unimaginable this is happening in 2024.

The plight of the women in Afghanistan is due to their own religion. Their Quran permits men to treat the women and girls, in the manner that they are being treated today.
What is being suggested that the world do about their situation?

10:24 woman, this is the true Islam. How long are u gonna deny that? This is the problem. Nothing else. This is the problem why u guys are suffering all around the globe. Either u r denying the truth or u didn’t study your religion. I mean study. Not to listen from scholars. Check the references by yourself.
Accept the truth. 'Islam' is the problem.

Primitive Men culture!! Afghan Women and Children you will one day taste true freedom.

[Ivanka-yrvl]

Absolutely tragic for the women living there

[RIANAVENTER]

If I had to live there I'd rather not live - that's no life.

[mikenogozones]

For everyone who cheered on the Taliban especially the keyboard warriors, is this what you support?

[sidali]

Shame on the Taliban they treat women as second class citizens thanks for covering this DW

[asraalisultani]

I'm from Afghanistan, I've lost my freedom, my education and now I'm just disappointed 😢I get depressed

[erinbyrnes]

Its sad how Afghans didn't fight to protect their freedom.

[helpanimals-]

THEY let this happen. The taliban rode in on bicycles, BICYCLES!! and the people let this happen. They received training from the US forces and didn't want to fight for their country. Now they pay the consequences for a very long time. Afghanistan is a failed country

[vibeit]

Afghanistan is living in the stone age era because talibani men feel comfortable with that. Seems like these mens life goal is to be an extremely overprotective parent of women!

[natashahaselton]

And the UK gov wants to bring that life to UK. Australia too. This sadly will be our future if people don’t wake up n rise up.

[jenn]

Women there have always been slaves. So very sad.

[seanbrennan]

Maybe next time they're given the opportunity to fight for their freedom. They won't drop their weapons and run.

[redgoddess]

These women need to stand up. No one is coming to save them. They have to save themselves in any way they can.
