haqqin.az recently reported a situation with women’s work places, in particular at Kabul airport after coming to the Taliban power. Bold Afghan women decided to defend their right to work. Despite its assurances, the Taliban still continues to insist on the discriminatory nature of the status of women in Afghan society.
it became known that on Friday, the workers in the capital of Afghanistan Kabul replaced the signs of the Ministry of Women’s Affairs to sign the “Taliban” police. Former workers of this department before this already stated that they were locked in the building.
The sign on the building was replaced with a new, written on the mixture of Dari and Arabic language with the inscription “Ministry of Prayer Service and the Office for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice.” Reports about it Reuters.
Employee ministry employees said they tried to go to work for several weeks. It turned out that only for the Taliban ordered them to return to their homes. According to one of the women, on Thursday the gate of the building was finally locked.
“I am the only breadwinner in my family,” the woman said, who worked there and asked. – “When there is no work, what to do an Afghan woman?”.
On Friday, representatives of the Taliban left a request Reuters unanswered.
Recall that when the Talibs were in power in 1996-2001, the girls were not allowed to attend school, and women were forbidden to work and learn. During this period, the so-called Ministry of Taliban “to promote the virtue and prevention of vice” became known as the Police of the Males of the Islamist Movement. It was guided by Sharia, whose rules required a strict dress code for women, provided public executions and spanking.
The list of posts in the Cabinet of Ministers declared by the Taliban on September 7, included the acting minister to promote the virtue and preventing a vice, but already excluded in the post of Minister Woman.
Earlier this week, a high-ranking Taliban leader said that women would not be allowed to work in state ministries with men.
Words with words, and the real actions of the Taliban are encountered on the sad thoughts of the future of Afghanistan.
