Following the clip, the United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in a statement that “Afghanistan is spinning out of control and that the conflict is taking an even bigger toll on women and children.” Additionally, Guterres claimed he’s deeply disturbed by early indications that the Taliban are imposing severe restrictions on human rights in the areas under their control.

He added: “It’s particularly horrifying and heartbreaking to see reports of the hard-won rights of Afghan girls and women being ripped away from them.” Pakistani Activist and Nobel Peace Prize Winner Malala Yousafzai equally shared her concerns via Twitter.

It’s reported that the Taliban had previously ruled Afghanistan from 1996 – 2001 before a US-led campaign ousted them following the 9/11 attacks. Under Taliban rule, girls were banned from going to schools, while women could only appear in public wearing full-body coverings and accompanied by male escorts.
Girls as young as 12 are now being taken from their homes and forcibly married to Taliban fighters.
Taliban portrayed themselves on the international stage as reformed moderates, but locals say they are fighters.
Women who didn’t faithfully observe the Taliban’s strict interpretation of Islamic law were either executed or publicly flogged. Eventually, the international community came to the rescue by launching schools for girls and allowed women to return to work after the Taliban’s ousting from power in 2001.

There are fears that the misogynistic Taliban could tear up women’s rights.
The future for Afghan women remains uncertain, especially as new reports say Taliban fighters are already going door-to-door to marry girls as young as 12 forcibly. The Jihadist commanders gas ordered imams to create marriage lists and offer girls for sexual servitude.
