Abstract
The recent take-over of Taliban in Afghanistan has raised questions whether women will be given their due rights or
history would be repeated? The apparent situation till yet is not much encouraging. Women were initially stopped to
attend secondary schools and even yet not allowed to attend universities as per Taliban assertion until ‘safe
environment’ were made sure for them. Besides the limitations on education, working women are also barred from
performing their duties with the same routine which they earlier practiced. However, women this time unlike the
past are showing up for demanding their rights in the form of rallies and protests on roads and public areas. They of
course are facing reaction but initial steps are already taken on their be-half; recording their resentment. Looking
at the past, studying the present and speculating the future is the aim of the study. The study also intends to unveil
foreign perspective of Taliban as misogynists. Whether the chanted slogans against Taliban are real or speculative
is included in aim of the study.
