I had the pleasure of co-authoring with the amazing akila radhakrishnan evaluating on the opportunity and responding to critiques of codifying gender apartheid.

Latest UNAMA News report provides further information & analysis of repressive & discriminatory PVPV law with detrimental impacts on all Afghans, especially women & girls, finding that Taliban "are continuing to pursue a path that distances Afghanistan from its int'l obligations"
