Reports indicate the Taliban has implemented policies that codify violence and restrict women's rights, with some outlets suggesting this includes the legalization of child sexual exploitation and the resumption of stoning women to death. Afghan women are reportedly being subjected to floggings and other forms of brutality, with some vowing to protest against the Taliban. The situation has been described as a humanitarian crisis and an example of gender apartheid, with many calling for action to stop the crackdown on women's rights.
