Abstract

In the wake of the post-American withdrawal (2019-2023), Afghan women develop apprehension that the regressive policies of the Taliban regime will resurface. This study, guided by the feminist conflict and peace theory, investigates the hurdles faced by Afghan women in this revived Taliban regime. By examining a range of sources, including reports, scholarly studies, and first-hand testimonies of Afghan women, this study analyzes how women have navigated through the complex political turmoil they faced as a result of power changes, foreign interventions, and the far-reaching effects of the Taliban resurgence. The study also dwells upon the impact of the policies of the Taliban regime on the political, social, and personal life of Afghan women. The study seeks to contribute to the broader discussion on the gendered nature of the conflict, shedding light on the significance of empowering women not only as victims but also as active participants in achieving lasting peace.
