Three Years of Taliban Rule in Afghanistan

Three years after the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan, the country faces a dire humanitarian crisis and widespread violations of women's rights. Key events since their takeover include the reversal of girls' education policies, strict dress codes for women, and public executions. While there has been improved security, the economy remains stagnant, with a third of the population living on minimal sustenance. The Taliban have engaged in limited international diplomacy despite not being universally recognized, making some progress in regional ties and economic discussions. However, concerns about human rights abuses, especially against women, continue to overshadow these developments. Human Rights Watch describes the situation as the world's most severe women's rights crisis, demanding accountability for those responsible for these violations.
