To look at the extreme of hierarchies, when one group uses hierarchical religion to justify their domination over another group, Afghanistan gives us a clear example.
"Afghanistan has now become a kind of cage for Afghan women; the birds who cannot fly out of it, just stuck inside the home without rights to movement, rights to education, rights to work — any basic right. And at the same time, for all other Afghan people, it is like losing dignity, losing human rights, losing economic opportunities, and just living under the poverty line. That's how it looks right now — and also the safe haven for the terrorist groups."
