Abstract:

Since the Taliban resumed political power in Afghanistan in August 2021, their total application of strict Sharia Law has demanded global attention. This paper theorizes that, in pursuit of social order, the Taliban has enacted a civil religion to justify their complete reversion of women’s rights as a public good. I examine Afghanistan's social contact through the political philosophies of Thomas Hobbes and Jean-Jacques Rousseau and suggest why the intended social order has not materialized. In conclusion, I depict the erosion of women's rights as a matter of structural injustice and incite c

This article examines how global media plays a role in Afghan women’s struggle for gender equality, employing an intersectionality approach and Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis. Since the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan in August 2021, women's rights in the country have faced severe restrictions, including bans on women's education and limitations on mobility. The article focuses on how these restrictions exacerbate gender inequality and create additional challenges for women, especially those from ethnic minority groups such as the Hazara.

Abstract:

This paper discusses women’s rights in Afghanistan during the Taliban regime from 2021 to 2022. Having seized power in Afghanistan by the Taliban in August 2021, a wide range of regulations seem to discriminate against women. The discriminatory restrictive regulations enforced by the Taliban have prevented women and girls in Afghanistan from receiving the same rights as men, such as access to education, employment, and access to public facilities. This is clearly inconsistent with The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). Given that Afghanistan rat

Abstract:

Nadia Hashimi's novel, One Half from The East, serves as a lens to explore the pervasive issue of gender inequality in a patriarchal society. This study analyzes the depiction of women, who are consistently viewed as inferior to men and denied fundamental rights. Employing qualitative research methods and Bell Hooks' feminist theory, the analysis exposes the limitations placed upon women within this social structure. The research highlights how Afghan women, like Obayda and Rahima who resort to disguising themselves as men, face oppression and discrimination from birth. Their restricted access

Abstract:

Considering the logic of evolution of societies, the calamitous situation of women can be both changed and controlled. With the emergence of Islam, issue of women was more deeply raised in religious and intellectual discussions. At a time when having a daughter considered a shame on Arab families, a religion emerged after which assigned key social, political and even economic rights for women. Holy Quran says there is no superiority of nations over nations, races over races and men over women unless by divine piety and good action. One of the emphatic rules of Islam is that acquiring knowledge

Abstract:

Although there may be strikingly different cultural explanations, in nearly every society women have had to struggle for equal rights. This study juxtaposes the position of U.S women in the 1910s and contemporary Pashtun women in Afghanistan and Pakistan to present an authentic picture of Pashtun women in an international context. Avoiding generalizations, the author focuses on select issues important to Pashtun women living in Swat, KP, Pakistan, the homeland of Malala Yousafzai. In addition to American scholarship, for the Pashtun part, the study relies on authentic sources: personal intervi

Abstract:

This research aims to analyze the policy impact of the Taliban regime on gender-based violence and its implications for human security in Afghanistan, focusing on the conditions of women and girls. Since the Taliban returned to power in 2021, Afghan women have been systematically oppressed. Gender-based violence has become pervasive in Afghanistan as a result of girls' limited access to education, limited freedom of movement, and limited job possibilities. Due to their low engagement in public life, women and girls are disproportionately affected by the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Afgh
