Description

The Taliban's new 35-article morality law restricts women from speaking, singing, or even making eye contact in public, requiring them to cover their bodies completely. This is part of a broader push to enforce their strict interpretation of Islamic principles.

Western countries have linked sanctions relief to restoring women's rights, but the Taliban have only increased restrictions, dismissing this as an internal matter. Despite sanctions, reports suggest the Taliban are already getting foreign aid.

If sanctions aren't working, what should the international community do to pressure the Taliban to uphold human rights?

Has India, as a neighbouring country and a leading voice of the global south, done enough to voice concerns?

In this episode of Geeta's World, our host, Anna Priyadarshini, and the foreign affairs editor at India Today, TV Today Network, Geeta Mohan, discuss!
