Episode Details
Back to EpisodesIs Afghanistan guilty of gender apartheid?
Description
This week on our Inside Geneva podcast, we ask whether the world has forgotten women in Afghanistan.
Under Taliban rule, they cannot work, go to secondary school, leave the house alone or even visit a public park.
Human rights defenders say the world is looking away. Some argue that what’s happening in Afghanistan amounts to gender apartheid and want it recognised as a crime under international law.
They also warn that if the repression of women in Afghanistan is not challenged, it could happen in other countries too.
