Women of Afghanistan

Why won't the international community call the Taliban's systematic oppression of women gender apartheid?

The Taliban's regime meets every condition of apartheid (systematic oppression, intent to dominate, state-enforced coercion) except it targets gender. This legal gap has become an alibi for global inaction.

If Afghanistan's erasure of women from public life isn't gender apartheid, the term has no meaning, and the world has abandoned half of its population."
