Taliban ban Afghan women from going out 'for security reasons'

The Taliban (a terrorist organization banned in Russia) has banned women in Afghanistan from leaving their homes for work until "their security system is in place." This is reported by the BBC with reference to the representative of the movement Zabihulla Mujahid.

He called it a "temporary measure". According to Mujahid, their "security forces are not trained how to deal with women, how to talk to them."

“Until full security is ensured…We ask women to stay at home,” he said.

Representatives of the Taliban, after the announcement of the establishment of full control over the territory of Afghanistan, said that they would allow women to lead an active lifestyle, but in compliance with Sharia. For example, it is already forbidden for women to go outside without being accompanied by a male relative and without clothing covering their head, hair and body. In addition, women are excluded from certain types of work, including work in the media.

On August 18, it became known about two cases of reprisals against women: militants killed a mother of four children for refusing to cook food for them, and also shot a woman for appearing in public without a veil.

The day before, a group of women had protested in Kabul demanding seats for women in the future government of Afghanistan.
