Taliban Bans Women From Reading Quran Aloud And Praying In Front Of Other Women
Taliban's New Restrictions On Women
Further Restrictions On Women's Rights
In a recent move that has sparked outrage and condemnation from the international community, the Taliban has banned women in Afghanistan from reading the Quran aloud or praying in the presence of other women.
This latest restriction is part of a wider crackdown on women's rights in Afghanistan since the Taliban regained control of the country in August 2021.
The Taliban has previously banned women from attending school or university, working outside the home, or leaving their homes without a male guardian,
International Condemnation
The international community has strongly condemned the Taliban's latest restrictions on women.
The United Nations has called the ban "a clear violation of international law and human rights."
The United States has said that the ban is "a step backward for the Afghan people."
Impact On Women
The Taliban's ban on women reading the Quran aloud or praying in front of other women will have a devastating impact on women's lives in Afghanistan.
For many women, reading the Quran is a source of comfort and strength.
Praying in front of other women is also an important part of many women's religious practice.
Call For Action
The international community must take action to pressure the Taliban to reverse its ban on women reading the Quran aloud or praying in front of other women.
This ban is a clear violation of international law and human rights.
The international community must not stand idly by while the Taliban continues to oppress women in Afghanistan.
