"And let us just not forget that I've covered repressive regimes who have set back women's rights throughout my career, never in the history of women's rights in America have we seen such a reversal in a developed country. It just hasn't happened, and the rest of the world is watching this very, very closely as America talks about, you know, shoring up democracy abroad, it really has to happen at home as well. Particularly for women's rights," she lamented.
Shortly afterwards, Amanpour expanded upon her emotional plea by arguing the Taliban wouldn't even respect the United States' commitment to women's rights anymore."Again, I would also say that as a conclusion, American democracy and the state of American women's rights are being really looked at, not just by the rest of the West, as these meetings are happening, but by the rest of the world. You think the Taliban are going to actually say, ‘Oh, yeah, we're going to adhere to what you tell us for recognition based on what, you know, on what we do about women'?" she expressed skeptically.
