Journalism and Resistance Under Taliban Rule, Five Years On
A France 24 program examines press freedom and women's rights in Afghanistan five years after the Taliban's return to power.
A France 24 program has focused on Afghanistan as the country recently marked the fifth anniversary of the Taliban's return to power, examining the state of journalism and resistance under the group's rule.
The program highlights how the exclusion of women and girls from public life has become normalised in Afghanistan since the Taliban takeover, with the government systematically dismantling the rights of more than half the country's population.
France 24's coverage situates journalism as one of the areas most affected by these restrictions, though the excerpt available does not detail specific cases of journalists or outlets discussed in the segment.
Five years after the Taliban's return, Afghanistan's human rights situation, and particularly the treatment of women and girls, remains a focus of continued international scrutiny and reporting.
