Meryl Streep Condemns Taliban's Oppression of Afghan Women at UN

The actress highlighted severe restrictions on women's rights in Afghanistan, calling for global intervention to end their 'slow suffocation.'

Meryl Streep stated that women in Afghanistan have fewer rights than animals, using the metaphor of a cat having more freedom.
Her comments were made during an event at the United Nations General Assembly focused on Afghan women's rights.
The Taliban's new 'morality laws' ban women from public speaking, attending schools, and even looking at unrelated men.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres emphasized that Afghanistan cannot progress globally without the inclusion of educated women.
Streep and Afghan activists urged the international community to unite against the Taliban's gender apartheid and restore women's freedoms.
