UN to Consider Gender Apartheid as Crime Against Humanity in November 2025

In November 2025, the United Nations will consider including gender apartheid among crimes against humanity, a move supported by organizations like Fondazione Pangea Ets. This consideration comes amid growing concerns over the severe restrictions imposed on women in Afghanistan since the Taliban's resurgence in 2021. These restrictions include barring women from education, employment, and public life, leading to significant psychological distress and isolation. The proposed recognition aims to address the systematic discrimination and human rights violations faced by women in Afghanistan and globally, advocating for international accountability and protection.
