The study aims to provide a comprehensive context for understanding the condition of Afghan women, emphasizing specific manifestations, underlying concepts, and impacts on their lives. The primary objective is to investigate the condition of women in Afghanistan, with a particular focus on the gender apartheid system, and to analyse its significance as an international crime. By doing so, the study seeks to contribute to the advancement of the rights of Afghan women and girls. Gender apartheid is a serious violation of human rights, and its characterization as an international crime can lead to the implementation of effective measures, protection of women, and accountability of perpetrators.
