News Centre_ The Taliban movement continues to impose severe restrictions on women in Afghanistan, denying them education, work, and movement, amid growing international condemnation demanding an end to repression and respect for women’s fundamental rights in the country amidst an ongoing and escalating crisis.

The Free Women’s System of Eastern Kurdistan(KJAR) issued a statement today, Friday, June 12, regarding theescalating restrictons  and pressures imposed on Afghan women. The statement condemned Taliban policies towards women. The text of the sstatement read: : "The Middle East is passing through an extremely sensitive phase in its history, in which women, as one of the most important social and political forces, play a pivotal role in the course of developments taking place in the region."

Referring to the restrictions imposed by the Taliban on Afghan women, including deprivation of education, work, and presence in public places, the statement considered these measures as part of the policies of patriarchal systems to exclude women from social life.

The System continued in its statement to highlight the slogans "Jin, Jiyan, Azadî" (Woman, Life, Freedom) and "Bread, Work, Freedom" as symbols of women's resistance to repressive policies, affirming that women have become a central force in reshaping the concepts of freedom, equality, and justice in the region.

The statement condemned the inhumane policies practised by the Taliban against women, calling upon forces believing in freedom, civil society organisations, and women's rights activists to be the voice of Afghan women and to support their struggle for their basic rights and legitimate freedoms.

It also pointed to the increase in executions and security pressures in Iran, claiming that the approach of the Iranian government and the Taliban towards women stems from a shared patriarchal mentality, and that both political structures consider the control and suppression of women as part of their survival strategy.
