For two years now, the Taliban have regained control of the “new” Afghanistan. The images broadcast by Al-Jazeera of Islamic fighters inside the government building, of women fleeing, of violence at Kabul airport made this even clearer. The apparent openness to the press soon proved to be a fleeting veneer of democracy, and a sunset period for human rights began.
With the advent of the new Taliban government, the figure of the woman was relegated to the stereotype of wife and mother, while freedom of the press began to clash with radical Islamic thought. The panorama for Afghan women remains uncertain, and it remains to be understood to what extent their capacities, on the one hand, and the external actions of the international community, on the other, can influence the protection of rights and the improvement of conditions for women.
The work presented here traces the main critical aspects of the relationship between the media, women journalists, and gender equality in Afghanistan from two perspectives: the socio-historical and the socio-visual. Historical facts and international journalistic images accompany the analysis...
