Afghan women deserve a Nobel Peace Prize

Al Jazeera  

Under the Taliban regime, Afghan women are facing growing hostility and restrictions, but they continue to resist. Indeed, Fatima has emerged as a symbol of women and girls’ struggle for their rights under the Taliban regime. Afghan women have been banned from going to parks, gyms, and other public places and from working in nongovernmental organisations and certain government institutions. A number of activists, journalists and former officials who fled the country work tirelessly to keep the Afghan women’s cause on the international agenda. They speak up about the imprisonment and torture Afghan women have faced and challenge the Taliban’s claims that its decision to restrict women is based on religious considerations.
