ABSTRACT: Humanitarian ethics are once again up-in-the-air
when it comes to Afghanistan. New ways to harm women and girls—relentless
misogyny and virulent attacks on human rights—have left humanitarians
compromised and increasingly complicit in action. Aid agencies must now renew efforts for principled engagement and put
non-cooperation back on the access-negotiating table—failure risks
humanitarians perpetuating the most extreme forms of gender-based
discrimination through its morally inadequate
view of gender persecution.
