Senators warn that the Taliban are already suppressing rights of women, girls in Afghanistan
Fox News
U.S. senators are sounding the alarm about the civil rights abuses of women and girls in Afghanistan after the Taliban took control of the country following Biden’s withdrawal of U.S. troops.
Ernst, the first female combat veteran elected to the Senate, shared an NBC News article published Sunday that quoted a provincial government official in Afghanistan saying women in the Taliban-controlled cities were already being treated "like prisoners" and that they "can’t go outside" of their homes. Fawzia Koofi, a member of the Afghan delegation that was working to negotiate peace with the Taliban before the U.S. pullout, told NBC News that women in the country felt "betrayed" and that their futures appeared "dark."More Related News
