Afghan women protest against foreign recognition of Taliban FMTNews FMTWorld
KABUL: A group of Afghan women protested in Kabul today, defying a crackdown on dissent to urge foreign nations not to formally recognise the Taliban government ahead of a UN summit next week.
“Recognition of Taliban — violation of women’s rights,” the women chanted during the march, which lasted no longer than 10 minutes and passed without confrontation with security forces. No nation has yet acknowledged the government as legitimate since the Taliban returned to power after US forces withdrew from Afghanistan in 2021.
Others say even discussing it grants the Taliban government some legitimacy at a time when they are squeezing women out of public life.
