Amir Jan , Muhammad Hassan , Shahid Hussain Kamboyo , Muhammad Ramzan
Abstract
The paper identified the fact that right after the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, an environment of fear and uncertainty prevailed among Afghan women which ultimately either confined the women into their houses or force them to flee from Afghanistan. On the other hand, the new Taliban regime expressed publicly to ensure the rights of women and would allow them to take part in political, social, education and economic activities; however, the past rule of Taliban are certain memories which do not allow them to be convinced. The paper also found that for the sake award of recognition from international community, Taliban have been compelled to be at the backfoot position. Still international community is so watchful in awarding recognition to the Taliban regime. The paper also tried to answer the question that what mechanism Taliban needs to adopt in order to convince international community for their political and economic support which is mandatory for Taliban to survive. The paper is qualitative in nature which investigated different facts, events and incidents to find a way forward for the restoration of freedom of Afghan women and their rights under the shadow of Taliban regime.
