Fighting for The Human Rights of Afghans

Fighting for The Human Rights of Afghans
With the Taliban surging back to power over Afghanistan's government, fundamental human rights, such as the rights of women and girls; education; freedom of expression; and freedom of religion have been violated. Even before the Taliban's took over the government, even in areas under government control, laws that have been put in place to protect these basic human rights were not properly implemented. In the 1990s, when the Taliban were last in power in Afghanistan, they systematically violated women and girls; they incorporated cruel corporal punishments, including executions and extreme suppression of freedom, religion, expression, and education. The bans are bound by international humanitarian laws. This requires that the Taliban respect fundamental human rights, including non-discrimination based on sex; freedom of religion; humane treatment of prisoners; interdiction of torture and corporal punishment; collective punishment; and rights to a fair trial, all of which has been violated to this point.
Furthemore, this group of extremists poses a threat to democracy, which affects every citizen of Afghanistan. In an article from 2013, when the Taliban were in control of some part of Afghanistan, they mentioned that they will not be any democracy as long as they are in power (Wolf 1). We can only assume that the same thing will happen in 2021.
