'All fundamental rights as per Islamic rules': Taliban's Women's Day message

India Today  

On International Women’s Day, the Taliban regime in Afghanistan had a message for women - that they are ‘committed to providing a secure environment to deliver the legitimate needs and demands of women’. “On the occasion of International Women’s Day, I would like to say, women have all their fundamental rights as per the Islamic rules. The IEA is committed to providing a secure environment to deliver their legitimate needs and demands,” Afghanistan’s Permanent Representative-Designate to the UN and the Taliban’s spokesperson Suhail Shaheen tweeted. Amid protests and outrage over the Taliban’s all-male government since taking over Afghanistan, Taliban spokesperson Sayed Zekrullah Hashimi, in an interview to Tolo News, had said, “A woman can't be a minister, it is like you put something on her neck that she can't carry.” Girls woke up to shut schools as the Taliban only allowed schools to reopen for boys and male teachers after forming the government last year.
