Summary/Abstract: One of the most debated issues in the history of Afghanistan is the status of women in the political and social structure of the country. Afghan women have been subjected to social and political discrimination in many periods of history. The inequality and discrimination between men and women are manifested in different areas. In the political and social fields, all decisions in this country were made in the absence of women. However, during the two periods when the Taliban dominated and ruled Afghanistan, the situation of women was very difficult and dangerous. The Taliban imposed the harshest laws on women. Under the Taliban regime, Afghan women were subjected to all kinds of discrimination, torture and violence. Therefore, investigating the position of women in Taliban politics in Afghanistan is the main objective of this research, which analyzes and reveals some important factors in the research process.
