Taliban's Khalid Hanafi Bans Women from Speaking to Each Other, Restricts Images in Media
Oct 28, 2024, 11:05 AM
The Taliban's Minister for the Propagation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, Khalid Hanafi, has declared it forbidden for adult women to allow their voices to be heard by other adult women in Afghanistan. This new rule adds to the mounting limitations on women's lives in the country, which already include severe restrictions on education, employment, travel, public spaces, and sports, further erasing them from public life. The Taliban's law on Vice and Virtue, specifically Clause 3 of Article 13, is cited to justify this restriction. Additionally, Afghanistan's morality ministry is gradually introducing a ban on images of living beings in media, with multiple provinces announcing restrictions and some Taliban officials refusing to be photographed or filmed.
