Post-Taliban Women's Rights And Government Implementation
Number of pages:

ABSTRACT:
6 pages in length. Despite the fact post-Taliban efforts have attempted to provide some semblance of women's rights in an era of expanding free speech and other civil liberties, those rights may exist in thought and limited application, but they are in constant struggle with the governmental forces that want to maintain a patriarchal ceiling on the extent to which women realize any significant departure from their traditional gender roles. Inasmuch as the barricade toward women's rights "remains deeply rooted in traditional Islamic culture" (Witte, 2005, p. A24), it stands to reason how the nearly seven short years since Taliban rule was overturned is hardly enough time to completely wipe out hundreds of years of gender oppression; as such, the government is not entirely keen on the idea of women's emancipation in virtually any way. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
