Afghan Women Urge Global Pressure on Taliban After 5 Years of Curbs

Summary
Afghan women speaking from Kabul urged people abroad to keep attention on their situation and back their rights to education and work under Taliban rule.
Ela, a dental assistant from Kabul province, said the most useful help is solidarity and public advocacy rather than silence as restrictions on women persist.
Noori, 24, who works in a Kabul jam factory, called for continued international pressure on the Taliban, including accountability measures and sanctions aimed at reversing education bans.
The appeals reflect how women inside Afghanistan are framing outside support: sustained visibility, diplomatic pressure and concrete action on rights after nearly 5 years of Taliban rule.
