The campaign to end gender apartheid announced that seven nations, including Afghanistan, have officially asked the United Nations to include gender apartheid in the crimes against humanity treaty. This proposal has successfully entered the negotiation agenda.
Several nations highlighted the crucial role of Afghan women in leading this global advocacy. Human rights activists argue that the severe restrictions imposed on women and girls by the Taliban government perfectly illustrate the grim reality of gender apartheid.
The campaign calls on the international community to formally recognize this issue and take action. The ongoing bans on female education, employment, and public presence continue to draw massive criticism from human rights defenders worldwide.
