Direitos das mulheres no Afeganistão nos anos 1996-2006

Comparação entre os períodos anterior e posterior à intervenção estadunidense

Abstract

When analyzing Afghanistan, the period between 1996 and 2006 was emblematic for Afghan women's rights, since it encompasses the first years of the Taliban regime and the initial developments after the US intervention (2001). It is also important to revisit liberal feminism and how it shapes the socio-political discussions surrounding Muslim women and the US presence in Afghanistan. In contrast to this, an analysis of Islamic feminism is also essential to develop the discussion. This has shown that there have been small changes in Afghan women's rights - access to school, the right to come and go - which, however, did not represent a breakage in the scenario of deprivation and oppression in the country and pointed to the failure of the US presence in its mission to restore women's rights in the state.
