Taliban is re-capturing areas and setting out barbaric rules towards punishments. Women rights have demolished been in the Taliban captured areas; Women can not go outside or girls to schools. Any women seen to have violated Taliban's rules are punished and demoralized in inhumane ways.
Pakistan government seems to have negotiated human rights for votes. Being a powerless government in the near of a ruthless terrorist group jeopardizes the basic rights of Pakistan civilians.
Afghan women could lose gains they have made since the fall of the Taliban if Western countries come to terms with elements of the ultra-orthodox Islamist movement, a women's activist said on Tuesday.
Orzala Ashraf of the Afghans Women's Network said an international conference on Afghanistan in the Hague had brushed aside the need to hold Afghans to account for their actions and this could pose a longer term danger to society as a whole.
"We have Taliban members who are clearly slaughtering people on the ground, slaughtering teachers, slaughtering simple passengers -- young men who travel to Iran for jobs. How can you talk with such kind of people?" Ashraf told Reuters.

The kind of ideology drives Taliban is not hatred, not ignorance, but pure good old jealousy. It is something like a chair reaction. Seeing the civilized countries those advances in all areas of life maybe in the field of education, entertainment, quality of life or technology wise - the please where Taliban ideology born is been deprived of it for generations. Jealousy is like that poison which gets more deadly as it becomes old. Repressing woman is the best and ideal way to make the immediate generation like the present one.
That is why they always target women and in the lands where they newly "conquered".
