Human Rights Alliance Accuses Taliban of Cultural Genocide

The Human Rights Activists’ Alliance has issued a strong condemnation of the Taliban government’s policies, labeling these actions as cultural genocide. The organization asserts that by closing educational doors, suppressing students, erasing the cultural memory of society, and distorting knowledge, the Taliban aims to obliterate a future that is meaningful only through education, freedom, and human dignity, systematically silencing a generation…

Cultural Genocide and Targeting the Future

The media office of this organization emphasized that the concept of cultural genocide entails silencing voices and imprisoning awareness.

This human rights group believes that the Taliban’s actions, including the closure of educational institutions, suppression of students, and erasure of the cultural memory of society, are destroying a future valued by the people of Afghanistan. A future that can only be meaningful through knowledge, freedom, and human dignity.

Systematic Erasure of a Generation

The Human Rights Activists’ Alliance insists that the Taliban’s actions are not merely temporary measures but a systematic effort: “By closing the pathways to education, distorting knowledge, and silencing awareness, the Taliban are systematically erasing the voices of a generation and targeting the future of a society.” These criticisms come as the Taliban has imposed widespread restrictions on the rights to education for women and girls, as well as on civil and media freedoms over the past four years. In this context, the UN Security Council has called for urgent changes in Taliban policies amid Afghanistan’s humanitarian crisis.
