About this Event
Four years since seizing control of Afghanistan, the Taliban has instituted a draconian regime of systematic gender-based oppression and domination–what a growing number of Afghan women’s rights defenders, UN experts, Member States, and international jurists have identified as “gender apartheid.” Through the wholesale removal of protective safeguards, an onslaught of repressive decrees and edicts, and punitive enforcement measures, the Taliban has sought to systematically erase women and girls from public life and relegate them to child bearers, child rearers, and free domestic labor. Despite this worsening human rights crisis, much of the world watches in alarming silence, with some states making steps towards normalizing relations with the Taliban. As the women and girls of Afghanistan have been courageously leading the charge to stand up against abuses committed against them, it is critical that the international community commit to women’s political participation.
This event will feature a screening of The Last Ambassador, a documentary that follows the journey of Ambassador Manizha Bakhtari in the aftermath of the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. The last remaining female Ambassador of Afghanistan, Ambassador Bakhtari continues her fight for the people of Afghanistan, in solidarity with Afghan women and girls and in defiance of the Taliban’s deepening gender apartheid regime.'
