Accepted Paper:

Women in Afghanistan; Rights and Realities  
Rukhsana lahore (Punjab university)

Paper long abstract:

This paper focuses on the women rights in Afghanistan after the fall of America in August 2021.The basic rights of Women are confiscated by the Taliban regime and their survival is at risk in this Islamic state. The basic argument in this paper is Afghan women are stuck between the abuse of the Taliban state and action of the international community which is pushing Afghan government to minimised the desperation of the Afghan women. Taliban government is depriving women from jobs in education sector. Workplaces are segregated and even what kind of mobile phones women must use if they are working declared by the organisations. I argued that Afghan government is hiding the actual situation in Afghanistan by circulation the fake news on international media that women can continue their jobs and continue their educational activities in a usual manner in Afghanistan. Women are becoming virtual prisoners in their homes and Taliban is taking basic rights of the half of its population (Women). The reports of human rights watch, the interviews of human rights activities are the source data of argument in this paper. The interviews of 7 Afghan common women who are facing problems in their daily life and interviews of 3 working women provides the picture of insecurities in general and workplaces in particular . This paper is also based on information of the Newspapers and digital media. In the end the efforts of NGO funded by international community will also highlight.
