Women's Rights Erode Globally Amid Regressive Trends
Afghan women and girls have faced severe restrictions on their rights and freedoms since the Taliban regained power, with bans on education and public life leading to pervasive oppression. A recent journey through Afghanistan illustrated the varying degrees of hardship, with many women now unable to attend school or work, while some still manage to find solace in underground education. Meanwhile, events like the Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis's Salute to Women in Leadership Gala celebrate women's contributions and resilience, contrasting starkly with the dire circumstances faced by women in Afghanistan. In the U.S. and abroad, the fight for women's rights persists, as seen in Iraq's proposal to lower the marriage age to nine and Libya's introduction of morality police, signaling a global regression in women's rights. These developments reflect a troubling trend where women's rights are increasingly under threat worldwide, often echoing the oppressive measures seen in Afghanistan. Activists are raising alarms over these issues, underscoring the urgent need for a renewed commitment to gender equality and human rights.
