Afghan women feel scared or unsafe leaving their homes alone because of Taliban decrees and enforcement campaigns on clothing and male guardians, according to a report from the U.N. mission in Afghanistan.
The report, issued Friday, comes days before a U.N-convened meeting in the Qatari capital is set to start, with member states and special envoys to Afghanistan due to discuss engagement with the Taliban and the country’s crises, including the human rights situation.
The Taliban — which took over Afghanistan in 2021 during the final weeks of U.S. and NATO withdrawal from the country — have barred women from most areas of public life and stopped girls from going to school beyond the sixth grade as part of harsh measures they imposed despite initial promises of a more moderate rule.
“Our beliefs are so much superior that our women can’t show their face and need to be guarded at all time because other men might be tempted to assault them otherwise.”

The hell you’re talking about??
How does removing women rights in public prevents them from sending nudes in private?
Why would you make your girlfriend pay instead of the scumbags?
Who the fuck are you to tell another person how to dress?

Stop being a misogynist and I’ll calm down.
He’s posting equally dumb shit in other communities. Hints in the name, he’s an incel themed troll.
Dumb AND vile.
They say a “failed state” is one where the central government is so weak that it is no longer in control. But, there should be a name for a state where more than half the population hates it there and would prefer to live just about anywhere else in the world.
I honestly bet that many of the women in Afghanistan would be much happier living in North Korea.
‘We are ensuring the safety of women by our extremely conservative and misogynistic mindset’
Seems to be working
The Afghan people were given the tools to maintain a working state. They didn’t want it. The president broke the sound barrier leaving the office, and the army was not as big as they told us it was. Paper soldiers.
This is the state they wanted. Let them enjoy it.
Im all for helping women leave the country so the men can enjoy their Islamic dream by themselves.
It’s a wast country and the rural population leaned a lot on the taliban side. The work was slow but progress was made, the endeavour was a never-ending project though. Working with millions of people to change their way of thinking, inherited over hundreds of years.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
ISLAMABAD (AP) — Afghan women feel scared or unsafe leaving their homes alone because of Taliban decrees and enforcement campaigns on clothing and male guardians, according to a report from the U.N. mission in Afghanistan.
The report, issued Friday, comes days before a U.N-convened meeting in the Qatari capital is set to start, with member states and special envoys to Afghanistan due to discuss engagement with the Taliban and the country’s crises, including the human rights situation.
The Taliban — which took over Afghanistan in 2021 during the final weeks of U.S. and NATO withdrawal from the country — have barred women from most areas of public life and stopped girls from going to school beyond the sixth grade as part of harsh measures they imposed despite initial promises of a more moderate rule.
Heather Barr, from Human Rights Watch, told the Associated Press that Afghan women’s fear of leaving home unaccompanied was “damning and devastating” but not surprising.
A Foreign Ministry statement said participation would only be beneficial if the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, as the Taliban call their administration, are the sole and official representative for the country at the talks.
The U.N. envoy for Afghanistan last year warned the Taliban that international recognition as the country’s legitimate government will remain “nearly impossible” unless they lift the restrictions on women.
