Afghanistan's supreme leader and Taliban chief has ordered the country's women to wear the all-covering burka in public, in one of the harshest controls imposed on women since the Taliban seized power.The decree states women should wear a head-to-toe burka as it is "traditional and respectful"
The Taliban said when it resumed power it had changed, but has introduced increasingly strict restrictions on women "Those women who are not too old or young must cover their face, except the eyes, as per sharia directives, in order to avoid provocation when meeting men who are not mahram [adult close male relatives]," the decree said.
A spokesman for the ministry read the decree, saying that a woman's father or closest male relative would be visited and eventually imprisoned or fired from government jobs if she did not cover her face outside the home.
Obviously more muslims there want all this oppression, otherwise it wouldn’t happen
How it this nonsense acceptable and not a human rights issue.
Australia has no ground talking about others, and Australia owes blood to the Afghans
Men and Women are equal let there be burkas for both. Let Allah decide.
Ah the US and its allies, enjoys sewing chaos in the middle east and then profiteering from said chaos, without fixing it Faux freedom at the end of a gun
Islam
they want to make life unbearable for women They think women have 1 function ie to have babies
Fortunately, all cultures are equal, and the burqa empowers women. This is well known.
Only two possible reasons Muslim women have to wear face coverings 1 They're so ugly men ashamed to show them. 2 If they can be seen and men like them, women can't be trusted to stay faithful.
I’m sure the West can export feminists to protest women’s rights.
We need that in Alabama
U.S. Republicans look to Afghanistan for their future women’s policies, praise Taliban as “forward thinking”
Geez, Texas sux...!!!
Perhaps they should have helped us get rid of them once and for all whilst we were sending a trillion or so in their shithole country. During which time the Republicans weren’t demanding any such thing…

Can ABC remind its readers what exactly US, UK, Australia, other NATO allies were doing in Afghanistan for 20 years? no war crimes committed by allies Remind that US was arming Afghan mujahideen, who later turned into Taliban&Al-Qaeda Now return & support 🇺🇦 far-right neo-nazi
They always like putting scarf on the heads. Not a problem

“Those women who are not too old or young must cover their face, except the eyes, as per sharia directives, in order to avoid provocation when meeting men who are not mahram [adult close male relatives],' the decree said.”
The Taliban are truly back. However putting restrictions on women by ordering to cover there faces and deny the women higher education will cost them dearly.
If they are like Ukrainian people fight for themselves.
Please don’t report this, the GOP in the US might get an idea
That is Afghanistan ...so let them do what they want.
A walking table cloth .. If thats religious..fk ..keep it there -- dont integrate that in Australia..you are on our land - never forget that . A woman to be so degraded- its bad enough seeing the Muslims with the head scaf .. a method submission 😎
Beware the religious fundamentalists, all of them.
Face coverings are about the only difference between the Taliban and Southern Republicans really. The Taliban demand women wear them, the Republicans demand nobody should. Other than that they're really quite similar.
That's religion for you.
Quelle surprise
