Women in Afghanistan are facing suppression and marginalization under the Taliban government, with new laws limiting their freedoms. This has sparked outrage among human rights defenders and governments worldwide.
On the latest episode of The New Arab Voice podcast, experts discuss how the international community should engage with the Taliban. Should they pressure the Taliban to reverse their oppressive measures and hold them accountable for human rights violations without penalizing the population?
Guests on the podcast include Kate Clark, co-director of Afghanistan Analysts Network, Zahra Nader, editor-in-chief of Zan Times, and Shaharzad Akbar, director of civil society group Rawadari and human rights activist at Chatham House.
Join us as we explore the complex challenges of addressing the Taliban’s treatment of women in Afghanistan. The podcast is written and produced by Rosabel Crean and Hugo Goodridge, with theme music by Omar al-Fil. Share your thoughts with us on Twitter at @TNAPodcasts or via email at podcast@newarab.com.
