The Afghanistan Policy Lab will convene a small group of expert discussants for a roundtable on the challenges and potential policy prescriptions for protecting and promoting gender equity and women’s rights in Afghanistan. Under the Taliban, women and girls have experienced a dramatic rollback in rights, with the latest decrees issued at the end of 2022 indefinitely barring women from attending university or working for an NGO. The ideas developed during the session will help to inform a policy brief with recommendations issued by the Afghanistan Policy Lab.
