On 15 August 2021, Taliban forces captured Afghanistan’s capital and reinstated the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. Since that day, more than 110 women have been killed or died by suicide. The Taliban rule has had devastating impacts on life for women and girls in Afghanistan. The murder of women is one of the most widespread crimes in the country, yet this issue has never been brought to the forefront; a discussion on femicide is pressing. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first publication specifically focused on femicide in Afghanistan. The authors conducted a literature review to further understand the scope and nature of the issue in Afghanistan. The chapter first discusses women’s rights in Afghanistan, followed by the recent developments in life for women after the Taliban came into power. Next, the prevalence of femicides in Afghanistan is outlined, albeit the true number is unknown, and only minimum estimates are available. The chapter aims to describe common examples of femicide, including the killing of women through honour killings, capital punishment to enforce Islamic sharia law in field court trials, and other forms of fatal gender-based violence, such as instigated suicide. Factors contributing to the occurrence of femicides, particularly honour killings, are also examined. The authors conclude that without women’s empowerment, international monitoring, and global organisations defending women’s rights, the future of women in Afghanistan remains threatened.
