A webinar organized by the Bareen Initiative for Development (BID) warned that the Taliban’s new divorce decree further strengthens restrictions on women and deepens what experts describe as gender apartheid in Afghanistan.
The event, titled “UN Report Exposes Taliban’s Systematic Erasure of Women: The New Divorce Decree and Deepening Gender Apartheid,” brought together Afghan experts, activists, and policymakers to discuss the legal and social consequences of the Taliban’s Decree No. 18 on the separation of spouses.
