The Taliban government in Afghanistan is reportedly imprisoning survivors of women abuse, justifying it as a protective measure, according to a UN report. The UNAMA highlighted that this practice has detrimental effects on the mental and physical health of survivors. Additionally, state-sponsored women's shelters, crucial for protecting women, no longer exist as the Taliban government deems them unnecessary. The UNAMA report reveals that gender-based violence against Afghan women and girls has risen, exacerbated by economic, financial, and humanitarian crises. The Taliban's severe suppression of women's rights in Afghanistan is among the harshest globally.
