Afghan Women Face Gender Persecution

09/07/2025

Whilst Western fake feminists continue their preoccupation with transgender women, genuine feminists in Afghanistan are paid tribute by famous dissident broadcaster Radio Free Europe, which transmits free media and journalism into countries where there is no such tradition.  Radio Free Europe says that womens shelters have been surviving underground in the country, and that even before the takeover by the Taliban in 2021, places of refuge were few and far between in a country that shuns divorce and expects women to stay with male abusers, even if their lives are endangered.  Radio Free Europe says "Forced marriages are the norm and the female suicide rate in Afghanistan remains among the highest in the world.  The United Nation says the Taliban authorities’ “severe discrimination” against women “may amount to gender persecution -- a crime against humanity -- and be characterized as gender apartheid.”   Meanwhile, the International Criminal Court on July 8 issued arrest warrants for senior Taliban leaders in Afghanistan, saying there were “reasonable grounds” to suspect Supreme Leader Haibatullah Akhundzada and Chief Justice Abdul Hakim Haqqani of having committed “the crime against humanity of persecution…on gender grounds.”
