Afghan Women Face Continued Exclusion Under Taliban

Five years after the Taliban takeover, Afghan women continue to face systemic exclusion from the workforce and public life, resulting in a total loss of professional identity.

Former female professionals report being forced into domestic roles, with their previous careers in media and other sectors replaced by daily household chores and isolation.

The regime change has effectively buried the aspirations of women who previously held jobs and participated in society, leaving them with limited independence and hope for the future.
