Afghanistan: Inside the world’s most repressive country for women – BBC Newsnight
The Taliban marked the second anniversary of its return to power yesterday with a public holiday.
But few Afghans, both women and men, have much to celebrate.
The Taliban, recently stopped most Afghan female staff from working with aid agencies, closed beauty salons, barred women from parks and curtailed their travel in the absence of any male guardian. In March, the UN said that “Afghanistan under the Taliban remains the most repressive country in the world regarding women’s rights.”
The fall of Kabul on 15 August 2021 followed the US decision to pull troops out of the country by September that year.
Newsnight correspondent Yasminara Khan and producer Ali Hamedani explore the situation in the country today.

Spirit Airlines is shutting down as a business after failing to secure a $500m (£368m) bailout from the Trump administration.
The budget airline was in talks with the US government about a rescue deal which would have saved it from collapse.
But discussions collapsed and the carrier said in an announcement on its website on Saturday that with “great disappointment” the airline had “started an orderly wind-down of our operations, effective immediately”.
Spirit was emerging from its second bankruptcy filing in recent years before the US-Israel war in Iran, but the resulting surge in jet fuel costs pushed it over the brink.
All upcoming flights with Spirit have been cancelled. Subscribe to our channel here: https://bbc.in/bbcnews

The British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has dismissed calls for his resignation in an address to the country, just days after his governing Labour party suffered significant losses in local elections. “I know I have my doubters, and I know I need to prove them wrong, and I will”, he said.
The BBC’s UK political correspondent Rob Watson tells us that Mr Starmer appears to have staved off any immediate challenges from his potential rivals, but that his premiership is still at risk in the long term. More than 50 Labour members of parliament have called for Mr Starmer to step down.
Analysts say the prime minister remains unpopular with his party and the country. The Labour government is under increasing pressure from the right-wing Reform party, led by Nigel Farage, and left-wing Green party led by Zack Polanski, who are gaining support with voters.
What will Labour have to do for a chance at re-election in 2029 – with or without Keir Starmer as leader?
