Taliban revoke Afghan women's hard-won rights

The Hindu  

Since the Taliban swept back to power in Afghanistan in August, they have been enforcing their fundamentalist interpretation of Islam. A U.N. report published in July quotes rural women who say the 2020 withdrawal agreement between the United States and Taliban has meant less violence in their areas, greater freedom of movement and reduced anxiety. Here are some of the restrictions that the Taliban have imposed on women so far: Long-distance travel Afghan women have been banned from traveling more than 72 kilometers without a male relative since December 26. In September, one of the Taliban's senior figures told the Reuters news agency that Afghan women should not work alongside men. Women accounted for 20 per cent of the country's workforce in 2020, according to a report released by the U.N. Development Program in December, and a growing number of them ran small businesses.
