Afghanistan’s civil society operates under severe restrictions imposed by the Taliban regime, which returned to power in 2021. Independent civil society organisations face near-total suppression, with women’s participation in public life effectively eliminated. The country’s CIVICUS ‘Closed’ rating reflects the complete absence of meaningful civic space.
