At the end of January, Afghan health officials <a href=\"https:\/\/tolonews.com\/health-176483\">reported<\/a> a 70 percent increase in positive Covid cases, with <a href=\"https:\/\/reliefweb.int\/report\/afghanistan\/covid-19-epidemiological-bulletin-afghanistan-epidemiological-week-4-23-29-jan\">positivity rates<\/a> reaching upwards of 47 percent (the World Health Organization says any positivity rate above 5 percent is dangerous).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accessing Covid-19 vaccines, testing, and treatment, was already difficult in Afghanistan. The country\u2019s healthcare system depended almost entirely on foreign aid for almost two decades. But when the United States abruptly withdrew in August and the Taliban re-claimed power, that aid dried up. As a result, almost all the programs designed to fight the coronavirus in Afghanistan have been forced to <a href=\"https:\/\/rukhshana.com\/en\/funding-is-pulled-for-the-only-hospital-treating-covid-19-patients-in-bamyan-province-ending-all-prevention-efforts\">shut down<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On top of that, the United States froze Afghanistan\u2019s central bank assets, plunging the country into a severe economic crisis. More than 90 percent of Afghans are now living below the poverty line, and many families are unable to <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/afghanistan-coronavirus-pandemic-business-health-kabul-9e983468daac7ef86367b6b9f76a704f\">afford enough food<\/a> \u2014 compounding the healthcare crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite hundreds of millions of dollars spent on developing Afghanistan\u2019s healthcare system over the last 20 years, access to quality healthcare remains far below international standards. Those standards are particularly low for women, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrw.org\/report\/2021\/05\/06\/i-would-four-kids-if-we-stay-alive\/womens-access-health-care-afghanistan\">a report<\/a> from Human Rights Watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWomen and girls struggle to access even the most basic information about health and family planning,\u201d the authors wrote. \u201cThere is an unmet need for modern forms of contraception; prenatal and postnatal care is often unavailable; specialty care, such as modern cancer and fertility treatment, is largely nonexistent; routine preventative care such as pap smears and mammograms are almost unheard of; and a large proportion of births are still unattended by a professional.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">None of this, however, has distracted Taliban leaders from pursuing the kinds of gender apartheid policies that made them famous when they first ruled Afghanistan between 1996 to 2001. During that period, the Taliban issued edicts and decrees that banned women from work and education, denied their access to healthcare, and severely restricted their social mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his first press conference after re-taking power on Aug. 17, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid reassured the world that the group would this time respect women\u2019s rights within \u201cthe framework of Islam.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the promise of a <a href=\"https:\/\/news.sky.com\/story\/afghanistan-taliban-fighters-claim-they-have-changed-and-afghanistan-now-safest-country-in-the-world-12404378\">changed Taliban<\/a> faded quickly. A week later, the same spokesman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/08\/24\/world\/asia\/taliban-women-afghanistan.html\">urged women<\/a> \u201cto stay home because fighters haven\u2019t been trained to respect them.\u201d Since then the Taliban have tightened their restrictions on women with every passing day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMeasures like requiring a mahram to escort women to health appointments or banning them from seeing male healthcare providers have a major impact on women\u2019s ability to access care,\u201d said Heather Barr, associate women\u2019s rights director at Human Rights Watch. \u201cAccess to healthcare is one area where the Taliban have always claimed that they are committed to protecting women\u2019s rights. But we see that their policies are still cutting many women off from urgent and sometimes life-saving care.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In early February, at a health clinic in Afghanistan\u2019s southeastern Ghazni province \u2014 the first province to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etilaatroz.com\/133857\/it-is-illegal-for-women-to-accompany-patients-to-hospitals\/\">ban women\u2019s access to healthcare<\/a> without a male chaperone \u2014 a local doctor said a pregnant woman in labor arrived on her own. After giving birth, fearing she\u2019d be punished for not being married, she fled without her child.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three days later, after local Taliban officials found out, they detained the midwife who delivered the baby, along with her husband, and are now moving to prosecute all 18 employees of the clinic, according to several healthcare workers connected to the clinic. The charge? Violating the order not to provide healthcare to women without male chaperones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taliban officials in Kabul, for their part, deny any of these stories are true. \u201cI don\u2019t confirm it, such a thing has not happened,\u201d a spokesman for the Ministry of Vice and Virtue said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The evidence, however, is overwhelming. Five months into the Taliban\u2019s new rule, a group of <a href=\"https:\/\/rukhshana.com\/en\/taliban-are-institutionalizing-systematic-gender-based-discrimination-and-violence-against-women-and-girls-un-experts-warn\">UN human rights experts<\/a> warned that the \u201cTaliban leaders in Afghanistan are institutionalizing large scale and systematic gender-based discrimination and violence against women and girls.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A healthcare professional who works in the city of Ghazni, southwest of Kabul, said Taliban leadership lacked coordination between departments and regions, and that each jurisdiction seemed to be operating its own set of restrictions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In one way, however, he said the Taliban was consistent everywhere: \u201cAll their animosity is with women. Almost all their restrictions target women,\u201d he said in a phone interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Zahra Nader reported from Toronto, Canada, for The Fuller Project.
