Afghan Filmmaker Sahraa Karimi Asks World to Wake up to Plight of Women Under Taliban Rule
. She calls for protection for filmmakers and for women in general against the brutal militants who have overrun the country amid the final U.S. withdrawl of forces.
The Taliban has surged to take almost total control of the country in just a few weeks since the U.S. withdrew its troops. The force, which is somewhere between a patchwork of armed militias and a political movement, is noted for its conservative Muslim social agenda and shocking repression of rights for women and girls.
“[The Taliban] will strip women’s rights, we will be pushed into the shadows of our homes and our voices, our expression will be stifled into silence. When the Taliban were in power, zero girls were in school. Since then, there are over 9 million Afghan girls in school. Just in these few weeks, the Taliban have destroyed many schools and 2 million girls are forced now out of school again,” said Karimi.
Ghani said that he had escaped in order to avoid further bloodshed. And in a Facebook posting suggested that the Taliban is responsible for what happens next.
