Introduction

With the withdrawal of foreign forces from Afghanistan and the fear of an Islamic system being established there, international institutions and the global media have begun to worry about women's rights and human rights in Afghanistan. Today, we will review models of these rights that Afghanistan enjoyed under international forces, the harvest of 20 years of occupation, to see how fair, truthful, and keen international institutions and the global media are on women and human beings.

Let us first see models of concern. The United Nations, its human rights section, issued a historical statement a few days ago on 24/8, saying: "At this critical moment, the Afghan people look to the Human Rights Council to defend and protect their rights. The need to prevent the commission of more serious and widespread human rights violations makes this meeting necessary." The United Nations also published a news item stating that Afghanistan, now under Taliban control, is facing a cultural disaster, and that urgent support must be provided to human rights and women's rights defenders there.

The American newspaper The Times headlines: "What Afghan women can lose." And France 24 asks: "What is the fate of women after the Taliban's return to power?" And the German DW says: "After bitter previous experiences of the movement in dealing with women, Taliban policy towards women has become the focus of international attention." And the Arabic channel headlines: "Women's fears of Taliban rule."

Likewise, those who are keen on women's rights in our countries, such as the producer of the film "In Seven Years," who understands the atheism of some youth, expressed his strong displeasure and discontent with the Taliban's statement that it would allow women to receive education and work as long as they wear the hijab, considering that to be tyranny, oppression, and domination. The situation, my brothers, is serious, and the world is afraid for the rights of women and humans in Afghanistan.

But I have good news for you, there is a glimmer of hope. The American President Joe Biden said in his speech: "If America will not abandon you, O Afghans." And the United Nations also stated that the Taliban's treatment of women is a red line.

Now let us see forms of human rights that the world fears will be lost with the end of the Western occupation of Afghanistan. Everything I will mention is documented and from Western sources. Some of these news items I cut from newspapers or saved from the internet over the past twenty years. Before I begin, allow me to tell you: you will see a high dose of pain today, but bear with it, my brothers, bear with it so that we can achieve three very important goals together:

First: Building Muslim awareness, for this episode is perhaps one of the best that reveals to us the truth of the global media and international organizations that theorize about us regarding humanity and women.

Second: To document this historical phase, 20 years of occupation, for there is now, esteemed ones, a systematic effort to erase the traces of contemporary history from the pages of the internet. Many videos and images have been deleted, so that when tomorrow comes, you will not be able to tell your son, who is infatuated with
