In wars besieged and backward countries, victims of foreign wars and policies, facing economic problems, nations afflicted by poverty and destitution, deprived of education, segments of society returned from a parallel journey with the world, countries caught between the Eastern and Western blocs or the Third World. Each of these countries strives to escape, establish an independent government, revive their economy, unite their nations, create a curriculum in education in accordance with their religion and customs, and achieve hundreds and thousands of advancements and actions, but they are not allowed to do so.
One of those countries is Afghanistan, a country that has taken steps towards progress each time, only to be occupied by a global superpower and have everything reduced to rubble. Decades upon decades have been spent on killings, wars, and destruction, all under the guise of reconstruction; from 2001 to 2021, the US and NATO spent twenty years destroying this country, not rebuilding it.
Afghanistan has emerged from foreign occupation, foreign interventions, and foreign dependency. The entire geography of the country is controlled from one address (the central system). There is no irresponsible armed group in the entire country, and no harm has been done to any other country from Afghanistan. Here, where everything had been reduced to zero by the United States, steps are once again being taken towards progress, with education, economy, and agriculture standing on their own feet.
In international media, the issue of women’s rights is sometimes used to defame our country, culture, or religion, or to present a negative image of the regime. Some countries, groups, and individuals present this issue to weaken other governments, justify sanctions, intentionally isolate a government, or achieve other political goals.
Since Afghanistan has hosted the new government, women have not been dishonored here as they are on the streets and roads of many Western countries. Here, no woman has been veiled in a raid, no son of a mother has been hanged in front of her eyes, no husband of a woman has been shot in front of her eyes, and there are no cases of sexual harassment. The weapon used under the guise of women’s rights can actually be considered a willful ignorance of the realities of Afghan society.
The low level of women’s education and the lack of political awareness lead to them being used as political and propaganda tools. Moreover, since there are no significant shortcomings in the caretaker government, the world repeatedly tries to use the issue of women as a tool to achieve their nefarious goals.
