"I Had to Run Away"
"The fall of the Taliban government promised a new era for women's rights in Afghanistan. Ten years later there have been many improvements, but Afghan women are often still denied their basic human rights. One example is the plight of an estimated 400 women and girls imprisoned for the 'moral crimes' of 'running away' (fleeing home without permission) and zina (sex outside marriage). While Afghan law does not prohibit 'running away,' the Afghan government and courts treat women and girls who do so as criminals. Zina is a crime in Afghanistan, punishable by up to 15 years in prison. 'I Had To Run Away,' based on 58 prison interviews, tells the stories behind 'moral crimes' arrests. It shows ...
"I Would Like Four Kids-- If We Stay Alive"
"For the past two decades, Afghanistan has depended on international donor support to fund essential services like health care. But this support has been falling for years and will likely continue to do so--perhaps precipitously--as the United States and NATO withdraw all forces from Afghanistan by September 11, 2021.... The funding decline is having a life-threatening impact on Afghan women and girls. Health services that were once free no longer are, as hospitals cannot afford basic supplies. Costs are passed to patients, many of whom cannot pay them, or cannot even afford transportation to a health facility--problems the Covid-19 pandemic has exacerbated. Women often have more children than they want because of lack of access to modern contraception; face risky pregnancies because of a dearth of care; and undergo procedures that could be safer with access to more modern techniques. Maternal and infant mortality remain very high. Progress on some key indicators, such as accessing prenatal care and skilled birth attendance, is stagnating, or even reversing."--Page 4 of cover.

"Stop Reporting Or We'll Kill Your Family"
This report documents harassment, intimidation, and attacks on journalists and the Afghan government's failure to investigate and prosecute those responsible. The failure to protect journalistic freedom has emboldened those determined to suppress criticism of the government, the security forces, and other powerful entities in Afghan society. The Taliban insurgency has greatly contributed to the climate of fear by explicitly targeting journalists for reporting deemed unfavorable. The government should act decisively to end the violence and intimidation, and the Taliban should end its attacks on civilian organizations, including the media.
"My Life is Not Your Porn"
"Digital sex crimes are having a devastating impact on women and girls in South Korea. These crimes are acts of online and tech-enabled gender-based violence involving digital images--almost always of women and girls--that are captured non-consensually, captured with consent but shared non-consensually, or manipulated or faked.... Survivors of digital sex crimes face major barriers to justice.... South Korea's government has taken some important steps to reform the law and provide services. But these measures are still inadequate, in part because they have failed to grapple with deep gender inequity that fuels digital sex crimes."--Page 4 of cover.
"Even If You Go to the Skies, We'll Find You"
"Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Afghans and people who do not conform to rigid gender norms in Afghanistan have faced an increasingly desperate situation and grave threats to their safety and lives since the Taliban took full control of the country on August 15, 2021. Human Rights Watch and OutRight Action International interviewed 60 LGBT Afghans in late 2021. Most interviewees were in Afghanistan, while others had fled to nearby countries where they remain in danger, including of being forcibly returned. Just a few have resettled in countries where they feel safe. Many of those interviewed reported being attacked, sexually assaulted, or directly threatened by Taliban member...
Bashed Up
"This 59-page report documents systemic failures in how the government responds to domestic violence--failures which often leave women unprotected and subject to ongoing violence, even when they have gone to great lengths to seek help and justice"--Publisher's description.

Zero Tolerance
Amadou Diallo, Abner Louima, Anthony Baez, Patrick Dorismond. New York City has been rocked in recent years by the fate of these four men at the hands of the police. But police brutality in New York City is a multi-dimensional phenomenon that refers not only to the hyperviolent response of white male police officers as in these cases, but to an entire set of practices that target homeless people, vendors, and sexual minorities. The complexity of the problem requires a commensurate response, which Zero Tolerance fulfills with a range of scholarship and activism. Offering perspectives from law and society, women's studies, urban and cultural studies, labor history, and the visual arts, the ess...
