from going to school measures designed to erase women from public life. the latest of these dictates requires women to cover themselves from head to toe. why luka is not my identity. these afghan women can't it? asking for justice under the taliban rou takes a lot of courage. but the latest order for them to wear a complete his job, meaning to cover up everything, but their eyes has angered them once again. i'm on my midway and we want to live as living beings, viaz, lift as noble creatures not to live as a captive in one corner of the house, not to be held in the cage of our house and our husbands go and back for food. we never want a date like this. it going i make like protest like these usually won't last long. i just wanna get out of here or i'll kill you. this aunt law enforces us. most of the women and girls have no choice but to comply with the restrictions the harshest

since the taliban came to power in august 2021. just a month after to take over the regime replaced a women's ministry with the ministry of virtue and vice women and girls have been told to stay home. in the 3rd quarter of 2021, their employment levels fell by an estimated 16 percent. much more than men. in december, the tale bond bent long distance travel for women without a close male relative. all of these happened while the defacto authority say they have changed. we though the will who came to the was, are the so we have made progress in administration, in politics, in the development sector of the country and an interaction with the nation, hulu and the world maurice her with, with each passing day in all walks of life and again,

and it's quite systematic and it's certainly not looking good as, as $11.00 off on women characterize that to me. she said that she had a sense that there was a tall about a war on women and the this, i think if it's something to, to really take stock is that women and i feel under siege by the de facto authorities. and so how can you or the united states end of this siege? well, we've made our position, fatty. we cleared the, the situation of women and girls and human rights is of critical importance to us. the ton of them have consistently said that they no longer want to be a pariah, be seen as a pariah by the international community. they want to have a relationship with the international community where they're seen of respective counterparts. and we have said that,

so long as you continue to behave in the same way that you did as the 1900 ninety's, there's going to be no change in our relationship. and more over the, you know, there's many things that the telephone want. they want greater economic engagement, they want greater normalization, more diplomatic engagement, all of that is contingent on their behavior and what they do in regard to women girls in the human rights situation. they know that yet they keep walking back and commitments that they had made before they took over the rule in the country. i mean, the majority of women still can't work. the country without man, guardian, and secondary education is a no go to the taliban really care. the top of us should care not just because of the international community, but because they cannot hold the peace, they cannot prevent further bring dream enough on the sun. they cannot make an honest on economically viable country to prevent further economic collapse when

which is why you have one decision after another. so they know they want recognition and they need to do a certain number of things to get it. but they still continue with these draconian dick that's but unfortunately, what appears clear is the taliban are prioritizing their internal cohesion over the, the fate of the, the country of the faith, of the population and their relationship with the international community. they're making decisions that i think will end up costing them significantly on many different levels. now, last year in an interview in september you had said that i've gone, women feel caught a profound sense of betrayal off the u. s. withdrawal from the country given that is what their feel in your words should have gone to the sounds. women and girls expect anything at all from the united states. well,

i know that one of the and responds to the concerns heard from women many and at that point with an independent actor when i meet those comments and response to to that concern, the u. s. government established my position on my office and has provided a i think significant support to my office to, to address this issue. so i think that the commitment is certainly there. i've been in my position for 5 months and i've seen that throughout the government. there is a broad scale support for my efforts to, to advance situation of women and girls. all right, we'll leave it there for today. thank you so much for joining us. every now i'm in the us special envoy for women girls and human rights. thank you so much. thank you . some of the women are trying to fight, but 20 female lawmakers have set up a parliament in exile in greece. they escaped to the capital 8th and when the
