Women's rights in Afghanistan

Like the two ends of an apple, men and women are at the end of creation and can be experienced spiritually. The continuation of human beings on earth, their existence thanks to women, can perhaps be viewed as a generation of beings that are superior to women in some sense. Unfortunately, the value of women, who are such a sacred and superior being, in the eyes of the individual has been so low and women have been subjected to constant oppression and violence since ancient times. Oppression and violence against women is not a problem specific to Afghanistan alone, it exists in almost all countries in the world and still continues worldwide in different dimensions. Even in Western countries, known as the cradle of civilization, until recently, it was common to think that women brought unrest and bad luck to homes. Of course, women's rights were not neglected at different times and levels in Afghanistan, but never in Western countries have women been despised and despised as much as in the Middle Ages, when women were said to have evil inside them and were burned as witches. News that women were subjected to violence, deprived of their rights, and even murdered during the Taliban's rule are exaggerated more than they are in European and American media outlets, which hold the power of communication and press in the world. Because of their admiration for Western countries, most of those who write or shoot them see these countries as the paradise of the world and think that their asylum applications will be accepted quickly. The underlying reason for most of this type of literature and the fact that Western countries are so inclined towards women's rights in Afghanistan should be described as a reflection of the use of the issue in politics to protect their own interests and achieve their goals, not because they defend women's rights. If the USA and Western countries really cared about and defended the rights of Afghan women, they would not have forcibly raped women during the occupation of Afghanistan between 2001 and 2021 and would not have used women for entertainment purposes in prostitution houses in the capital Kabul and almost all over the world. This argument, of course, should not be understood as ignoring the mistakes of the Taliban administration or blatantly defending their mistakes. As a result, it has been concluded that the violations of women's rights in Afghanistan are definitely not as exaggerated. Unfair judgments have always been made by Western countries or by those who are fans of Western states, and women have been made the subject of politics. KEYWORDS:Afghanistan, Taliban, Women's Rights
