The Taliban have taken multiple steps to walk back women's rights including forbidding education for girls beyond grade six and banning women from universities.

Summary

The Taliban have banned windows in homes that allow views of areas where Afghan women might be seen, citing concerns over “obscene acts.”

This new decree mandates blocking or obstructing such windows in existing and new buildings, continuing the group’s systemic repression of women since regaining control of Afghanistan in August 2021.

The Taliban’s policies have included bans on women’s education, public appearances, and voices.

Critics, including the U.N., warn these actions dangerously erode human rights, while activists call out global inaction over the ongoing oppression.

    There is a long tradition of how eastern society functions and how women see themselfes in it, BUUUUUUT

    Talibs overtook a country modeled after european states with two decades of gender equality and stuff, and them undoing it is not a return to tradition but self-inflicted barbarism to please 50% sausage havers.

      I remember a similar thread about this: The European model stuff only happend in a very limited area (cities) while most of the rural country was, is, are, have been the clans now known as “Taliban”… which got literally weaponized by the US during the cold war.

      I don’t remember the details but that’s what I think to know about that subject. (I never watched Rambo 2 /s)
