Lynne O'Donnell: 作为一名长期报道阿富汗战争的记者,我亲身经历了塔利班的威胁与阻挠。2022年,我返回阿富汗后不久就被塔利班拘留,他们强迫我做出虚假供述,并威胁阻止我离境。这段经历让我更加关注阿富汗妇女在塔利班统治下的悲惨处境。我采访了一位阿富汗心理学家,她告诉我许多妇女已经患上了斯德哥尔摩综合症,开始认同塔利班的统治,认为这是对她们最好的安排。她们竞相在着装上最为端庄,在遵守塔利班的宗教规定上最为虔诚。塔利班剥夺了妇女所有的自由,包括受教育、工作、行动甚至观看窗外的权利。妇女自杀率飙升,家庭暴力问题也十分严重。我对阿富汗的局势感到悲观,因为国际社会投入的资金并没有用在正确的地方。我希望国际社会能够更加关注阿富汗妇女的困境,并为她们提供更多的帮助。
