Human rights in Afghanistan have faced significant challenges, especially since the Taliban regained control in August 2021. The new regime has imposed strict interpretations of Islamic law, leading to widespread restrictions on freedoms, particularly for women and girls. Access to education, employment, and public life has been severely limited, raising concerns among international human rights organizations. Additionally, the situation for ethnic and religious minorities in Afghanistan remains precarious. Reports of discrimination, violence, and persecution have emerged, highlighting the need for ongoing advocacy and support from the global community. The protection of basic human rights continues to be a critical issue in the region.
