塔利班领导人在庆祝掌权五周年之际宣称为阿富汗带来了稳定与和平，但联合国官员对该国的人权状况提出了严厉警告。[1]塔利班于2021年8月15日掌权以来，实施了一系列限制妇女权利的政策。[1]
联合国特别报告员理查德·贝内特指出，塔利班禁止六年级以上女孩接受教育，随后又禁止妇女接受高等教育，此举导致约240万女孩被排除在中等教育之外。[1]贝内特表示"这个制度构成了性别迫害罪行反人类罪"。[1]除了教育方面的限制，妇女还被禁止进入体育馆和公园、参加体育运动，以及在没有男性监护人陪同的情况下进行长途旅行。[1]
贝内特警告国际社会不要"常态化"塔利班的这些政策。[1]尽管塔利班在国际上处于孤立状态，目前仅俄罗斯正式承认其政权。[1]
Taliban leaders are celebrating five years in control of Afghanistan, claiming to have established stability and peace in the country [1]. However, their tenure has been marked by severe restrictions on women's rights that have prompted alarm from international observers.
UN Special Rapporteur Richard Bennett has characterized the Taliban's policies toward women as constituting crimes against humanity, stating that "this system constitutes gender-based persecution crimes against humanity" [1]. The restrictions imposed include bans on girls' education beyond the sixth grade and women's access to higher education, with UNESCO estimating that approximately 2.4 million girls have been excluded from secondary education as a result [1]. Women face additional prohibitions on entering gymnasiums and parks, participating in sports, and traveling long distances without a male guardian [1].
The Taliban government remains internationally isolated, with Russia being the only country to formally recognize it [1]. Bennett has warned the international community against "normalizing" Taliban policies [1]. These developments underscore the dramatic transformation Afghanistan has undergone since the Taliban assumed power on August 15, 2021 [1].
