Afghanistan. The Taliban banned women from parks and amusement parks
When the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan a year ago, they promised to respect human rights. Despite these promises, the country returned to medieval punishments, such as stoning or amputation.
The Kabul authorities restrict the freedom of women in particular. Remember that in November the Taliban banned women from entering parks and amusement parks.
Previously, the country’s authorities prohibited women from moving in public places without the company of a man – husband, older brother or father. In addition, women must adhere to a strict dress code – in public places they must cover their entire body and face, except for the eyes. Adult women, on the other hand, cannot work outside the home.
In Afghanistan, almost all women wear the hijab in public. The Taliban ordered them to wear full-body clothing and a burqa that covered their face.
