The International Criminal Court (ICC) has intensified its efforts to hold Taliban leaders accountable for their persecution of Afghan women and girls. Prosecutor Karim A.A. Khan has submitted applications for arrest warrants targeting specific Taliban officials for gender-based crimes and human rights violations in Afghanistan. This move comes as the international community increasingly condemns the restrictive measures imposed by the Taliban on women, prompting calls for justice and accountability. Activists emphasize that these arrest warrants are long overdue, highlighting the urgent need to address the systemic discrimination faced by women and girls in Afghanistan.
