On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid stated that any form of violence against women is strictly prohibited in Afghanistan, Bakhtar News reports.
Mujahid emphasized that individuals engaged in violence against women in Afghanistan are diligently identified by relevant services and subsequently brought to court to face appropriate punishment. Addressing specific concerns, he stated, "Forced marriage and family violence against women cannot be allowed, and simultaneously, those who are in prison for violence against women are under investigation."
The Taliban's prohibitions against women in Afghanistan have been outlined, encompassing various aspects of their lives. These restrictions include the prohibition of Afghan women working in UN offices, sewing clothes for men, visiting male doctors without a guardian, going to the hospital unaccompanied, visiting amusement parks, and accessing restaurants with gardens or green areas. Furthermore, the Taliban has prohibited advertisements featuring female voices.
