Two years under Taliban rule have resulted in devastating setbacks and violations of women's rights in Afghanistan.
With over 40 decrees, some written, others just announced, aimed at crushing women's freedom, the Taliban have drastically diminished women's roles within society. They began by violating women's basic rights, including their social and political presence, and escalated to intruding on women's personal and private spaces.
What the Taliban fail to grasp is that courage inspires more courage, bravery multiplies, and tyranny leads to greater demands for the rights denied. A lesson learned from Afghan women's ongoing resistance is that movements pave the way for other movements, even small pockets of resistance will generate more, and that individual and collective courage inspires hope. Women in Afghanistan are not lacking visions for an alternative future; their hope is fuelled by grassroots activism.
The resistance movement is young, and diverse, and although it is scattered, it is brave and optimistic and growing in strength. Women will lead the peaceful resistance in Afghanistan. As one young woman passionately exclaimed in a just days after the Taliban takeover,"We are not afraid of death; we are an immortal generation. We [will] make freedom flourish." Her words then, ring true today.The views expressed in this article are the writer's own.
