Taliban Leader Hibatullah Akhundzada Bans Windows Overlooking Women's Areas, Citing Obscene Acts and Privacy Concerns
Dec 29, 2024, 04:07 PM
The Taliban's supreme leader, Hibatullah Akhundzada, has issued a directive prohibiting the construction of windows in residential buildings that overlook areas where Afghan women are present. This decree aims to protect the privacy of women and prevent what the Taliban describes as 'obscene acts' that could arise from men observing women in domestic settings. Property owners are required to either block existing windows or face enforcement actions. The directive specifically mentions that windows should not face courtyards, kitchens, or other spaces typically used by women. This move is part of a broader trend of restrictions imposed by the Taliban on women's visibility and rights within Afghan society.
