Since their August 2021 takeover of Afghanistan, the Taliban have utilized rape and forced marriage to terrorize Afghan women. While the Taliban deny the evidence of such claims, two Afghan teenagers who recently escaped Taliban captivity shed light on the group's evil.
The teenagers provided statements to Leslie Merriman, an American volunteer coordinating their care. With the girls' permission, Merriman then provided their stories to me. Both girls' names have been changed to protect their identities.
For the next five weeks, Fereshta said she was raped every night by multiple Talibs until her"body was covered in blood." During the day, Fereshta’s hands were tied. A woman living in the house where she was held captive provided food and water. On Sept. 7, that woman unbound Fereshta, gave her money and clothes, and walked her to a nearby street. The taxi driver who picked up Fereshta pretended to be her father at Taliban checkpoints as he ferried her to a hospital.
