"The question is: which human rights do the Taliban not violate?"

In this episode of "Die Kulturmittler:innen - Deep Dive", Qantara author and Afghanistan expert Emran Feroz sheds light on the human rights situation in the country, which is shaped by a complex interplay of political instability, cultural practices and restrictive policies. Women's rights in particular have been severely restricted, and bans on education and employment have been imposed. Violence against minorities, suppression of freedom of expression and other harsh laws further aggravate the situation.

Emran Feroz is a journalist and author and reports regularly from and about Afghanistan for media such as Die Zeit, Al Jazeera, The New York Times and the ifa online magazine Qantara.de (see author profile).  

Die Kulturmittler:innen is the podcast of the Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen (ifa). It provides facts and insight into a range of topics surrounding foreign cultural and educational policy.
