Now, Taliban stops women from sightseeing: All ways Afghan women’s rights have been suppressed
www.firstpost.com
Since coming to power in August 2021, the Taliban government has made a number of moves to suppress the rights of Afghan women. The latest curb it has imposed is banning women from attending the popular Band-e-Amir national park 175 kilometres west of Kabul

“Not content with depriving girls and women of education, employment, and free movement, the Taliban also want to take from them parks and sport and now even nature, as we see from this latest ban on women visiting Band-e-Amir,” Human Rights Watch’s Associate Women’s Rights Director Heather Barr says.

    There are no real signs of any will to resistance, so what else are we to make of that besides this is the way the majority wants it?

    I agree with your general point, but isn’t there resistance in the northern parts of Afghanistan? Also there’s the part where the US gave the Taliban some of the best PR out there. Fighting against a foreign invader tends to make you pretty popular irrespective of your stance on other things.

      There’s something to be said for “aleast they’re Afghan” sure, but the Taliban weren’t a new faction, they’d been ruling Afghanistan brutally for a long time fore the invasion. They’re not an unknown quantity to the Afghan people.
