On August 30, 2021, the U.S. military ended 20 years of occupation and left Afghanistan. Today, the Taliban is back in power, and the hard-won freedoms that women enjoyed for less than two decades have all but vanished. Reporter Isobel Yeung dives deep into the current state of women in Afghanistan and how they live under their draconian Taliban rulers.
The Taliban is an Islamic fundamentalist group that emerged in Afghanistan in the early 1990s after a decade long war with the Soviets. Due to the trauma and displacement they experienced during the war, many Afghani freedom fighters found refuge in the hard-line religious beliefs and rhetoric the Taliban promoted. They slowly organized themselves, pacifying rural areas around the country, and by 1996, controlled the government.
