U.S. bombing Campaign in Protecting Afghan Women

Introduction

Even though much positive advancement in Afghan women's lives has made over the past ten years, but still it is a fact that progress remains brittle and at times limited to rhetoric. There have been countless numbers of laws, action plans, resolutions, policies and strategies in order to empower the Afghan women, however, the track record for their implementation remains appalling.

Women's lack of basic human rights in Afghanistan has a profound influence on their maternal experiences. Afghan women had gradually gained rights throughout the 20th century. However, conflicts of the late 20th century resulted in those rights being systematically stripped away. These conflicts included the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan from 1979-89, followed by civil war and government collapse, and then Taliban control of the country from 1996-2001. The Taliban was especially significant as it enforced strict gender segregation and forbade women from attending school, working outside the home, leaving the home unless accompanied by a male relative, appearing in public without wearing the burqa, or seeing a male doctor. During Taliban rule, women's social roles were limited to that of wife and mother; those who stepped outside of these social roles could be stoned, beaten, and even executed. There are a number of documented instances where mothers were publicly beaten or jailed when their daughters were accused of extramarital affairs or other gender-related infractions (Sellars, 2009, PP. 12-46).
