The Taliban have taken multiple steps to walk back women's rights including forbidding education for girls beyond grade six and banning women from universities.

Summary

The Taliban have banned windows in homes that allow views of areas where Afghan women might be seen, citing concerns over “obscene acts.”

This new decree mandates blocking or obstructing such windows in existing and new buildings, continuing the group’s systemic repression of women since regaining control of Afghanistan in August 2021.

The Taliban’s policies have included bans on women’s education, public appearances, and voices.

Critics, including the U.N., warn these actions dangerously erode human rights, while activists call out global inaction over the ongoing oppression.

    So, does the Tali ban a ban on windows? So it’s not allowed to ban windows? So they’re the Talibanban now? Or did they approve a ban on windows, so they’re the Taliaproveban now? This is so confusing.

      I think Tali is the word for ‘all’ and ‘ban’ is a loan word. They’re slowly making way to their namesake.
