In this episode, Meghan Campbell talks with Dorothy Estrada-Tanck, Chairperson of the UN Working Group on discrimination against women and girls, about the concept of gender apartheid in light of the horrific denial of the equality and human rights of women and girls in Afghanistan. Dorothy and other members of the Working Group have been advocating for understanding this violation as gender apartheid.  In our conversation, we explore what this concept means, what salience it has in thinking more broadly about the current backlash against women's rights and how gender apartheid can be utilized to fight for women's equality.
