The Taliban's ascent to power on 15 August 2021 has led to Afghanistan being subjected to the strictest interpretation of Shariah or Islamic law, which has resulted in a complete reversal of the women's rights ensured in recent years. Meanwhile, the takeover has led to the country being isolated internationally, with the international community turning its back on the new Taliban government and imposing sanctions whose brunt is being borne by common Afghans. This has resulted in a severe humanitarian and economic crisis in Afghanistan, with just three percent of the population asserting that they had money to cover their basic needs, according to the report on the state of Afghan children by Inger Ashing, the CEO of nonprofit Save the Children.
