Since the Taliban overtook the Islamic nation in 2021, women in Afghanistan have been suffering through one of the toughest periods of their life. Women’s freedom is being undermined by the conservative forces’ continued tyranny.
According to TOLO news, which cited Taliban Ministry of Vice and Virtue spokesman Mohammad Akif Mahajar, the Taliban have now issued a fresh verbal edict banning women’s beauty salons in Kabul and other districts throughout the nation.
Taliban Forbids women’s parlors
Since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan in 2021, women in that country have faced numerous difficulties. In Kabul and other areas, the Taliban have outlawed women’s beauty parlors, weakening their freedom.
The Kabul municipality has been instructed by the Taliban Ministry of Vice and Virtue to carry out the ruling and revoke the licenses of women’s beauty parlors.
- Taliban outlaws beauty parlors in Afghanistan, limiting women’s freedom.
- Raihan Mubariz expresses dissatisfaction with employment restrictions, claiming men and women are unemployed.
- Women face Taliban restrictions on authority, work, and travel.
Raihan Mubariz, a makeup artist, stated her dissatisfaction with the restriction and claimed that men are left without employment while women are compelled to work in beauty parlors to make ends meet. Girls and women are not permitted to enter parks, theatres, universities, NGOs, or other public spaces because of Taliban restrictions.
The restrictions include preventing girls from attending classes past the sixth grade, limiting their work options, and forbidding them from going to the gym.
Women are also not allowed to hold positions of authority, work, or travel alone. International and national reactions to the Taliban’s restrictions have prompted calls for a framework that would not harm Islam or the nation.
