“Taliban attacks on women have violated every international treaty protecting the rights of women. Women and girls are not permitted to get any education above primary school. They cannot hold jobs except in healthcare for women, such as nursing or midwifery. Women cannot even get their hair cut in beauty salons, which were all closed by Taliban decree.
Women in Afghanistan, who once held hope for a brighter future, are now shackled by the Taliban in a tyranny that denies them fundamental freedoms, education, and participation in public life. The Taliban’s systematic oppression of women amounts to what many legal scholars now recognise as gender apartheid. Hazara women bear the brunt of the Taliban’s repressive rule due to the intersection of their gender, religion, and ethnicity, rendering them particularly vulnerable.
…
The Hazaras, a Shi'a religious minority in Afghanistan, have faced relentless persecution, genocidal massacres, the bombing of their mosques and schools, and attacks on their maternity clinics, including mass murders of Hazara mothers, babies. and school children.
The Taliban are committing a slow genocide by attrition against Hazaras.
The Hazara people have been forced from their ancestral lands by systematic deportation, a crime against humanity. Forced evictions of other groups such as Uzbeks have also taken place to change Afghanistan’s demographic landscape.
Hazaras are totally excluded from the Taliban government. Taliban discrimination against Hazaras is most systematically applied in the Taliban’s judicial system. The Taliban have completely removed Hazaras from courts across the country, even where they constitute the majority. Today, there is not a single Hazara working as a judge or even a clerk in any court. Taliban courts systematically discriminate against Hazaras.
The Taliban have diverted humanitarian aid destined for Hazara areas to reward the Taliban's supporters in other regions, leaving Hazaras without food or medicines sent by the UN and other international agencies.”
