On the occasion of International Women’s Solidarity Day, Amnesty International has stated that many women in Afghanistan have been forced to abandon their identities and remain invisible.

In a statement released on Sunday, 7 March 2026, the organization called for an end to human rights violations in Afghanistan.

According to Amnesty International, the Taliban continue acts of gender-based torture, harassment, arbitrary detention, and censorship with complete impunity.

The statement reads:
"Women have been deprived of nearly all spheres of life, and practices such as torture and ill-treatment, arbitrary arrests, enforced disappearances, and censorship continue with total impunity."

The organization emphasized that severe restrictions on freedom of expression, peaceful assembly, and women’s political participation persist without oversight.

Moreover, the reintroduction of corporal punishment and the absence of an independent judiciary have exacerbated these problems, leaving victims with no access to justice.

Amnesty International stressed that the international response to the Taliban’s actions has been minimal, calling for urgent accountability and protection of women’s rights in Afghanistan.
