The Taliban have taken multiple steps to walk back women's rights including forbidding education for girls beyond grade six and banning women from universities.

Summary

The Taliban have banned windows in homes that allow views of areas where Afghan women might be seen, citing concerns over “obscene acts.”

This new decree mandates blocking or obstructing such windows in existing and new buildings, continuing the group’s systemic repression of women since regaining control of Afghanistan in August 2021.

The Taliban’s policies have included bans on women’s education, public appearances, and voices.

Critics, including the U.N., warn these actions dangerously erode human rights, while activists call out global inaction over the ongoing oppression.

    Israel’s occupation and destruction is not increasing Palestinian rights just like nazi Germany didn’t increase jewish people’s rights.

      When you learned about history, did you learn about the Kings of Phrygia? How about older history like Ancient Egypt, Anatolia? What I’m trying to say is that through 7,000 years of documented history kept by all of these countries. They all mention going to Judea or Israel. None of these countries mention going to Palestine until the Romans became involved.

        When I learned history, I learned that the original inhabitants of Palestine are the cannnites. And that it was the Jews that immigrated from Egypt to their land. I also learned that they massacred the people there according to the Bible and Torah (if you believe in that).

        [1 Samuel 15:3] Now go and smite Amalek and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.

        Whats interesting to me is that despite Jews owning 5% of Palestine before the creation of the state of Israel, the UN decided to split Palestine in half and give them 50%.
