KABUL: Girls were excluded from returning to secondary school in Afghanistan on Saturday (Sep 18), after the country's new Taliban rulers ordered only boys and male teachers back to the classroom.
The hardline Islamist group ousted the US-backed government last month, promising a softer brand of rule than their repressive reign in the 1990s, when women were mostly banned from education and work.
But the diktat from the education ministry was the latest move from the new government to threaten women's rights.
"All male teachers and students should attend their educational institutions," a statement said ahead of classes resuming Saturday.
The statement, issued late Friday, made no mention of women teachers or girl pupils.
Secondary schools, with students typically between the ages of 13 and 18, are often segregated by sex in Afghanistan. During the COVID-19 pandemic, they have faced repeated closures and have been shut since the Taliban seized power.

Since a US-led invasion ousted the Taliban in 2001, significant progress has been made in girls' education, with the number of schools tripling and female literacy nearly doubling to 30 per cent - however, the change was largely limited to the cities.
The United Nations said it was "deeply worried" for the future of girls' schooling in Afghanistan.
"It is critical that all girls, including older girls, are able to resume their education without any further delays. For that, we need female teachers to resume teaching," the UN's children's agency UNICEF said.
Primary schools have already reopened, with boys and girls mostly attending separate classes and some women teachers returning to work.
The new regime has also permitted women to go to private universities, though with tough restrictions on their clothes and movement.

WOMEN'S MINISTRY CLOSED​

In a further sign that the Taliban's approach to women and girls had not softened, they appeared to have shut down the government's ministry of women's affairs and replaced it with a department notorious for enforcing strict religious doctrine during their first rule.
In Kabul on Friday, workers were seen raising a sign for the Ministry for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice at the old Women's Affairs building in the capital.

Videos posted to social media showed women workers from the ministry protesting outside after losing their jobs.
No official from the Taliban responded to requests for comment.
Although still marginalised, Afghan women have fought for and gained basic rights in the past 20 years, becoming lawmakers, judges, pilots and police officers.
Hundreds of thousands have entered the workforce - a necessity in some cases as many women were widowed or now support invalid husbands as a result of decades of conflict.
The Taliban have shown little inclination to honour those rights - no women have been included in the government and many have been stopped from returning to work.

HORRIBLE MISTAKE​

Meanwhile, a top United States general admitted it had made a "mistake" when it launched a drone strike against suspected Islamic State militants in Kabul last month, instead killing 10 civilians, including children.
The strike during the final days of the US pullout was meant to target a suspected Islamic State operation that US intelligence believed with "reasonable certainty" was planning to attack Kabul airport, said US Central Command commander General Kenneth McKenzie.
"The strike was a tragic mistake," McKenzie told reporters after an investigation.
McKenzie said the government was looking into how payments for damages could be made to the families of those killed.
"I offer my deepest condolences to surviving family members of those who were killed," US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in a statement.
The UN Security Council voted on Friday to extend the UN political mission in Afghanistan for six months, with a focus on development issues but not peacekeeping.

Afghan karate champion fears it's game over for female athletes after Taliban takeover​

20 Aug 2021

CISARUA, Indonesia: Afghan karate champion Meena Asadi pounds the heavy bag as part of her training routine, but she fears that female athletes still in her homeland may have already lost their fight to compete now that the Taliban are back in power.
Meena left Afghanistan when she was 12 and went to Pakistan, where she started karate training and later represented Afghanistan in the 2010 South Asian Games.
She returned to Kabul the next year and opened a fight club, but was forced to flee a second time due to violence, and ended up in Indonesia with her husband and then one-year-old daughter.
"I feel miserable. I lost my hope and the people of my country lost their hope too," Meena told Reuters in a studio in Cisarua, a town south of Jakarta where she teaches karate to refugees who, like her, hope to resettle in a third country.
When the Taliban ruled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001, their strict interpretation of Islamic law - sometimes brutally enforced - dictated that women could not work and girls could not go to school.
Women had to cover their faces and be accompanied by a male relative to venture out of their homes.
With the Taliban back in Kabul, Meena is fearful of what that means for the progress made by her compatriots.
"All the achievement and values are destroyed, and this would be a dark moment for the people, especially for women and girls," said the 28-year-old, who is also a member of the Hazara minority.

This week, taekwondo athlete Zakia Khudadadi had her dreams of becoming Afghanistan's first female competitor at the Paralympic Games shattered due to the turmoil in Kabul.
"Everything is finished for women athletes," said Meena, who was the sole female athlete representing Afghanistan at the 2012 South Asian Karate Championship, where she won two silver medals.
Taliban leaders have tried to reassure Afghans and the international community that girls and women would have the right to an education and to work, but Meena and others are sceptical.
"They are the extremist party, and they don't believe in human rights or rights of women," said Meena.
Already there have been reports that some women were ordered from their jobs as the Taliban advanced across Afghanistan.
"They will never change ... they are the same Taliban," Meena said.
The majority of Afghan refugees in Indonesia are Hazara, who have been targeted for decades by Sunni militants, including the Taliban and Islamic State, for their ethnicity and mostly Shia religious beliefs.

Forum: Pledge to support women could have been better considered​

Sep 25, 2021

Last Saturday, the People's Action Party launched the campaign #ActionForHer, asking Singaporeans to choose a woman in their lives (for example, mother, wife, daughter or sister) and pledge to support her via a multiple-choice set of suggested actions (Initiative to pledge support and take action for women, Sept 19).
While I appreciate the sentiment behind this campaign, I found some aspects of it problematic.
First, the pledge suggests that gender equality matters only to people with wives/daughters/sisters/mothers, and so on.
Gender equality affects everyone in society.
Traditional gender roles affect not only women but also men, penalising them with inequalities in areas such as parental leave.
A 2018 study published in the Journal Of Happiness Studies found that gender equality significantly improved overall life satisfaction for everyone: "Indeed, men also see strong and significant gains in life satisfaction when the sexes are more equal."

Second, the pledge form allows you to select only one woman to support.
This restriction means that, unintentionally or not, users are forced to pick one woman in their life above all others. This seems to imply that equality is a zero-sum game, when it is not.
Lastly, I found the list of actions to support women to be rather insubstantial.
For example, it is unclear how "encouraging her to try something new" really solves gender inequality in society.
Meanwhile, "treating her with respect" and "not dismissing the struggles she faces, and standing with her" are very similar, and may also imply that women should be grateful for having basic human rights.
The only action that seems tangible and meaningful to me is "helping lighten her caregiving load at home".
Research shows that the unequal domestic workload of women is the critical factor holding them back from professional success and financial independence.
I suggest other similarly concrete actions, such as "sharing my salary information with female colleagues at the same level as me" (to check for and address gender wage gaps), or "attending an anti-harassment or anti-sexual assault workshop" (because sexual violence is another major oppressor of women).
Gender inequality is one of the most pressing problems of today, and I support efforts to eradicate it.
Yet this small and symbolic pledge could have been better considered to truly inspire people in Singapore to help work towards equity and equality.

Our retarded islamists here keep insisting that the moslem religious scholars know best. These new restrictions on afghan women returning to work and school were imposed by the religious scholars, just like in the past when moslem religious scholars urged their taliban congregants to bomb schools and kill civilians to keep afghanistan politically unstable for the past 20 years.

I think the LGBTQ movement has surpassed women's rights movement already.

You can see from the inclusion of female identifying XY genotype allowed to enter as women competitors at the Olympics.

The women have kept quiet by and large.

Soon this AWARE movement might have leaders who are XY genotype women.

Taliban faces new fight as women rise up​

The Taliban is battling a new revolution from the women they seek to oppress, with thousands of Afghans taking to social media to fight.

The Taliban is facing a new fight from the women they seek to oppress, as thousands of Afghans move to social media to fight the militant regime’s restrictions on their freedom.
It’s been more than a month since the Taliban swept to power in Afghanistan, after the group took advantage of the US’ promise to withdraw all troops by August 31.
After a handful of protest in late August and early September, which were met with deadly force by Taliban forces, some Afghans began to pressure the group in a different way.
Afghan women across the globe began to celebrate Afghanistan and its rich and vibrant culture, before the Taliban ruled.
The Taliban was first in power in Afghanistan between 1996 and 2001 and was notorious for imposing its strict interpretation of sharia law.
That law forbade women from leaving the house without a male relative to escort them, and it also meant women could not leave home unless they were completely covered by a burka.

Bahar Jalali, an Afghan-American historian, saw Afghan women return to this way of dressing earlier this month, when dozens of black-clad women in full face veils marched at a pro-Taliban rally in Kabul.
In response, Ms Jalali launched a social media campaign and hashtag to instead highlight the vibrant colours of traditional Afghan clothes.
“I was very concerned that the world would think that those clothing worn by those women in Kabul was traditional Afghan clothing, and I don’t want our heritage and culture to be misrepresented,” Ms Jalali, who lives in the US state of Maryland, said.
Ms Jalali, 46, created the social media hashtags #DoNotTouchMyClothes and #AfghanistanCulture, which quickly became popular, with women posting photos of themselves wearing colourful, embroidered Afghan clothing and smiling for the camera.
“Afghan women don’t wear hijab,” Ms Jalali told AFP.
“We wear a loose chiffon headscarf that reveals the hair. And anybody who’s familiar with Afghanistan history, culture, knows that the clothing worn by those women have never been seen before in Afghanistan.”

Ms Jalali was referring to the demonstrators who were photographed sitting in a university lecture hall earlier this month.
About 300 women – covered head-to-toe in all black in accordance with strict new dress policies for women in education under the Taliban – waved Taliban flags, as speakers railed against the West and expressed support for the hardline Islamists.
“Afghan women don’t dress that way. Afghan women wear the colourful dresses that we showed the world.”

Thousands of other women have heeded the protest call, posting photos of themselves in beautifully embroidered, traditional Afghan clothes.
Marjan Yahia, a 28-year-old make-up artist who moved to Canada from Kabul when she was six, has posted a number of protest photos.
“This is traditional Afghan clothes, ones that I wear proudly, that I have the ability to wear peacefully here while the women in my home of Afghanistan are forced to cover themselves,” Ms Yahia wrote on one of her Instagram photos.
“I stand for the women of Afghanistan, that have, and continue to suffer at the hands of the Taliban,” she wrote on another.
The #DoNotTouchMyClothes movement continues to grow as Afghan women celebrate their culture.

Women’s rights in Afghanistan were sharply curtailed under the Taliban’s 1996-2001 stint in control, but since returning to power last month, they have claimed they will implement a less extreme rule.
Women will be allowed to attend university, as long as classes are segregated by sex or at least divided by a curtain, and women must wear an abaya robe and niqab, which cover the whole body and face, save for a slit for the eyes.
Ms Jalali moved to the United States when she was seven.
She remembers Afghanistan under secular rule, with some women wearing short skirts and sleeveless dresses on the streets of Kabul, while others choose to wear headscarves.
In 2009, Ms Jalali returned to Afghanistan to teach history and gender studies at the American University in Kabul, in what was the country’s first gender studies program.
After almost nine years there, she returned to the United States and now teaches Middle Eastern history at Loyola University Maryland.
“My students were very passionate about gender equality, male and female students,” she recalled.
“So I really can’t imagine how this new generation of Afghanistan that has never witnessed Taliban rule, that has grown up in a free and open society, is going to be able to adjust to this dark period that Afghanistan has now entered.”

S'porean woman accused of offences including molesting brother-in-law​

SINGAPORE - In a rare case, a woman has been accused of offences including molesting her 31-year-old brother-in-law.
The 33-year-old Singaporean woman, whose case was mentioned in a district court on Tuesday (Oct 12), now faces nine charges in all.
These include two counts each of molestation and harassment.
The woman cannot be named due to a gag order to protect the man's identity.
The court heard that in the wee hours of Aug 12, both were in a flat in the southern part of Singapore when the woman allegedly hugged the man and kissed his back.
She is also said to have touched his right thigh and grabbed his private parts that morning.

The woman had been released from prison in July, but details about her earlier offences were not disclosed in court documents.
According to a remission order, she was supposed to keep herself out of trouble from July 10 to Aug 16.
She is said to have breached the order when she allegedly molested her brother-in-law on Aug 12.
This means that she may have to spend additional time behind bars if she is convicted of her latest offences.
Her pre-trial conference will take place next Tuesday.
For each count of molestation, an offender can be jailed for up to two years and fined or caned.
Female offenders, however, cannot be caned.

Oct 15, 2021

Nearly a quarter century ago, when she was a counsellor in the office of then United States Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Ms Wendy Sherman, together with her boss, used their gender to gain entry into the women's section of the refugee camps for displaced Afghans in the Pakistani border city of Peshawar.
The tales the two heard from the women housed there were horrendous, including of rape. One young woman had escaped the Taliban - which had recently seized power in Afghanistan - by jumping out of an upstairs window.
Today, the Taliban is back in power in Afghanistan and Ms Sherman, the No. 2 in the State Department to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, is America's most powerful woman diplomat.
Ms Sherman will do well to remember those terrible stories as she executes her nation's foreign policy, and act to prevent more of the horror, now that she has the power and influence. It is not a job she can do alone; indeed, she must try to enlist Pakistani and Chinese support - two nations that have sway with the new regime in Kabul.
For, in the unspooling situation caused by her President's determination to pull troops out of Afghanistan, abandoning countless Afghans to the mercy of a band of tribals with mediaeval instincts, no section of people deserve more attention than women. What's more, with the country's economic situation steadily worsening and the approaching winter sure to make things even more dire, the impact will fall most severely on Afghanistan's women and girls. Such are the ways of the world.
The pity's that in the past two decades, Afghan females had made significant societal advances. Nearly four in 10 of the roughly nine million children enrolled in schools were girls when the US pulled out, compared with the fewer than 1 per cent of girls in elementary schools in 2001. At the privately run Ghalib University, 60 per cent of the 2,400 students on the rolls had been women. More than a quarter of the 249-seat national Parliament comprised women representatives.

A rollback of rights​

"These last weeks, since Aug 15, when Kabul fell to the Taliban, have been a steady stream of bad news for women and girls," Ms Heather Barr, associate director in the women's rights division of Human Rights Watch, wrote on the HRW website recently. "Every day brings further evidence that they are implementing a massive rollback of women's rights."
Ms Barr's words should not be dismissed as what you would expect from a well-meaning activist on rights issues.
At its first media conference in mid-August, the Taliban held out assurances that it would respect human rights, including gender equality - "our sisters, our men have the same rights," said its spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid.
But those words came with caveats; women's rights would be respected "on the basis of our rules and regulations" and within the Taliban's frameworks of Sharia.
Since then, there has been significant retrogression, even in urban areas. Female employees have been told to not show up for work. Bearded men on the streets threaten women who are not accompanied by a mahram, or male escort, even if they are fully covered.
This week, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, not one to rush to media, accused the Taliban of breaking its promises and said he was "particularly alarmed to see promises made to Afghan women and girls by the Taliban being broken".

ST ILLUSTRATION: MANNY FRANCISCO

Afghanistan had passed an Elimination of Violence Against Women Act in 2009 but now that the Taliban is in power there is little chance the legislation will stand. The Ministry of Women's Affairs building has been handed to the Ministry for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice - which was notorious for its enforcement of Taliban doctrine two decades ago. The Cabinet line-up announced by the new regime does not include a single woman.
The pity is that the Taliban won power back at a time when women were entering surprisingly new areas. Today, all the advances made by a generation of women are at risk. Some 230 women judges are said to be in hiding, some for fear of retribution from the people they had dealt justice to.
A few protest demonstrations by women who emerged into the streets to confront the Taliban were seen in the early days, but these have petered out for the most part.
Take one of the luckier women professionals who managed an escape - Ms Zahra Samar, a 23-year-old who was evacuated to Adelaide in August on an Australian military flight with only the clothes she was wearing.
Ms Samar had been training to be an Afghan air force pilot when a soldier at the air force academy called with a message: Leave now!

Teachers from the academy had already been targeted. One was shot in front of his children. Managing to enter an Australian Defence Force aircraft, she disembarked at pretty much the other side of the world. However, a sister continues to be stranded back home. A fellow student, also a woman, is in hiding.
"Afghan women cannot leave the home. They cannot go to work. They have nowhere to go," Ms Samar recently told Australian media.
It is not that the world is unaware of the predicament that Afghanistan's female population has been thrown into. On Aug 18, the European Union and 21 nations, including Britain, Australia and New Zealand, co-signed a statement that said: "We are deeply worried about Afghan women and girls, their rights to education, work and freedom of movement. We call on those in positions of power and authority across Afghanistan to guarantee their protection."
Disappointingly, no Asian state seems to have been a signatory to the statement. And Tuesday's Group of 20 meeting on Afghanistan convened by Italy could have taken a more forceful position on Afghan women although the chair's summary does ask that "specific actions and funding targets in humanitarian assistance be focused on programmes in favour of women and girls in Afghanistan".
What can be done to alleviate the situation? No single country has the clout to tell the Taliban what to do but combined pressure from a few key ones - the US, Pakistan and China - can possibly make a difference.
They could do so if, for once, all three decide to put aside geopolitical considerations to act with a common purpose. To start with, the release of badly needed aid, and the release of money owned by the Afghan state that lies in Western institutions, must be calibrated to better behaviour on the human rights front, particularly women's rights.

Pakistan's leverage​

Perhaps the foreign government that has the most influence in Kabul today is Pakistan, currently involved in a global effort to muster support for the government it helped bring to power there.
It was one of only three countries to recognise the Taliban when they held power in the 1996 to 2001 period, and the last country to withdraw that recognition. Today, it is on the verge of recognising the Taliban as the legitimate Afghan government - an act that would resonate well with the current dispensation in Kabul.
Prime Minister Imran Khan must check pressure from his military and his own instincts to earn more merit points with the Taliban, key to shutting out Indian influence in the nation, by holding off on recognition for the regime until it meets acceptable standards of behaviour.
Indeed, he must do so in the memory of the mother he lost at age 33 and in whose name he has done so much for the Pakistani public.
While his sporting exploits on the cricket field had made him a national celebrity it was his act of setting up the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre in Lahore that initiated his climb from cricket hero and global playboy to earnest national do-gooder.
At a time when sportsmen scarcely earned the rewards they do today, Mr Khan had donated his entire £90,000 prize money from leading the Pakistan team to the 1992 Cricket World Cup. His party, Tehreek-i-Insaaf (Movement for Justice) was launched in 1996, two years after the hospital opened.

China's clout​

China, with its own considerable interests in Afghanistan - from curbing militant Islamists to potentially tapping the country's sizeable mineral resources - cannot look away either.
While Beijing has maintained strong ties with the Taliban, even inviting its representatives for talks as the US planned its pullout, it has so far not granted recognition to the new regime.
Modern China is much more aware of issues such as women's rights and even as its foreign policy affects a muscular masculinity, Beijing would be hurting itself by going overboard to back a regime that behaves so poorly with women.
China does not suffer from a shortage of influence. Taliban officials have described China as Afghanistan's most important partner and said they welcome Chinese investment and assistance to rebuild their country. Speaking up robustly for Afghan women also would improve Beijing's global image.
These are moments when one misses Ms Fu Ying, once the most powerful woman in Chinese diplomacy as vice-minister for foreign affairs. In retirement, Ms Fu serves as chair of the National People's Congress Foreign Affairs Committee. With dozens of officers who reported to her still in service, she is not without clout in the Chinese foreign policy system.
Given the nature of the times, and strained US-China ties, the Biden administration's Asia policy czar Kurt Campbell, who knows Ms Fu well, may not be the person to make that call to request her to weigh in on behalf of Afghanistan's women. Ms Sherman, on the other hand, can do so without embarrassment.
Every little helps.

Oct 14, 2021

SINGAPORE - A maid accused of recording multiple videos of herself bathing an elderly man under her care - without his knowledge - was charged in a district court on Thursday (Oct 14).
The 33-year-old Indonesian is accused of seven counts of recording such clips involving a vulnerable person, and six of distributing them.
She allegedly committed the offences in a Punggol flat and cannot be named due to a gag order to protect the man's identity.
She is said to have used her mobile phone to do a recording while she bathed him on seven occasions between January 2020 and this year.
The woman is also accused of sharing the clips with another party via messaging platform WhatsApp at least four times with the intent to cause humiliation to the man.
She is said to have shared these clips without his consent.

Details about the recipients as well as the man's age and physical condition are not disclosed in court documents.
On Jan 1 this year, the maid allegedly uploaded one of the clips onto social media platform TikTok without his consent as well.
Police said in an earlier statement that officers received a report two days later about a woman who had allegedly recorded videos of herself bathing an elderly man and uploaded one such clip on social media.
On Thursday, the court heard that the woman is now staying at a maid agency and intends to seek legal help.
Her bail was set at $15,000 and the case has been adjourned to Oct 27.
For each charge, an offender found guilty of recording intimate videos of a vulnerable victim without consent can be jailed up to four years and fined or caned
Those convicted of distributing such clips of a vulnerable person can be jailed up to 10 years and fined or caned for each charge.
Caning, if ordered by the court, applies only to men.
