Deep Dive - Emran Feroz on Afghanistan’s Struggle for Human Rights
On 30 August 2021, US troops and their allies withdrew from Afghanistan, leaving the country under Taliban rule. In this episode of Die Kulturmittler:innen – Deep Dive we’re joined by Emran Feroz to explore the human rights situation in Afghanistan which is marked by a complex interplay of political instability, cultural practices, and restrictive policies. Women’s rights in particular have been massively restricted since the Taliban took over, with bans on education, employment, and public freedoms. Violence against minorities, suppression of free speech, and harsh laws further worsen the situation.
Emran Feroz is journalist and book author, and regularly reports from and about Afghanistan for media such as Die Zeit, Al Jazeera, The New York Times or ifa’s online magazine Qantara.de.
