Former British PM Gordon Brown: Unite against Taliban

Listen Later

Nearly two years ago Americans hastily left Afghanistan and the Taliban took over. Any hope that this Taliban might be a more moderate version has all but vanished. The rights of women and girls are continuously under assault. Secondary schools are still closed for girls and the latest edict closed beauty salons, not just a place of work but one of the last all-women spaces for socializing. Gordon Brown was Britain’s Prime Minister during the war in Afghanistan. He is now making a bold declaration that the denial of female education and any rights for women in Afghanistan should be declared a crime against humanity. In an op-ed for Britain’s Guardian newspaper, he is calling on world leaders to unite against the Taliban’s repression of women and girls. He joins the show from Fife in Scotland.
