An Afghan woman, who has fled her home following the Taliban’s return to power, is now living in constant fear as she continues to receive death threats from the militant group. The Taliban’s chilling message — “We have your location” — underscores the terrifying grip the group still holds over individuals who have managed to escape their immediate control.
Having worked as a women’s rights advocate under the previous Afghan government, she has become a target. The Taliban has intensified its crackdown on women’s freedoms, making her situation even more perilous. Despite being outside Afghanistan, the threats continue, as the Taliban tries to track down dissidents worldwide.
Her story reflects the broader plight of Afghan women who once enjoyed relative freedom and now face dire threats from a regime determined to silence opposition. As international attention on Afghanistan wanes, many fear the situation for these women is becoming more desperate.
