horrific conditions that Afghanistan women and girls are having to live under under the rule of the Taliban this article is coming out of the Guardian other um Publications are talking about it but it says frightening Taliban law bans women from speaking in public new Taliban laws that prohibit women from speaking or showing their faces outside their homes have been condemned by the UN and met with horror by human rights groups the Taliban published a host of new Vice and virtue laws last week approved by their supreme leader habah AUD Zada which states that women must completely Veil their bodies including their faces and thick clothing at all times in public to avoid Leading Men into temptation and vice women's voices are also deemed to be potential instruments of Vice so will not be allowed to be heard in public under the new restrictions women must also not be heard singing or reading aloud even from inside their houses whenever an adult woman leaves her home out of necessity she is obliged to conceal her voice face and body the new laws state men will also be required to cover their bodies from their navels to their knees when they are outside of their homes from now on Afghan women are also not allowed to look directly at men they are not related to by blood or marriage and taxi drivers will be punished if they agree to drive a woman who is without a suitable male escort women and girls who fail to comply can be detained and punished in a manner deemed appropriate by Taliban officials and charged with upholding the new laws the restrictions have been condemned by Rosa otun beeva the special un's representative for Afghanistan who has said they extend the Intolerable restrictions on the women on the rights of women and girls already imposed by the Taliban since they took over power in 2021 it is a distressing vision for Afghanistan's future where moral inspectors have discretionary P um powers to threaten and detain anyone based on Broad and sometimes vague list of infractions she said in a statement on Sunday it extends the already intolerable restrictions on the rights of Afghan women and girls with even the sound of a female voice outside the home apparently deemed a moral violation speaking to Rook Shana media M Abdul wahed Sadat the president of the Afghan Lawyers Association said that the new laws contradicted Afghanistan's domestic and um International legal obligations from a standpoint this document faces serious issues it contradicts the fundamental principles of Islam where the promotion of virtue has never been defined through Force coercion or tyranny this document not only violates Afghanistan's domestic law but also broadly contravenes all 30 articles of the universal Declaration of Human Rights the the Taliban government does not have any sort of legitimacy and these new edicts designed to further erase and suppress women are an indication of their hatred towards women says faia kufi an Afghan human rights activist who was the first woman vice president of the Afghan Parliament when they say women cannot speak in public as they regard women's voices as a form of intimacy is it is incredibly frightening yet the whole world acts like this is normal there have been very few reactions of comments to what is happening and the Taliban are emboldened by this indifference it is not only women but all human beings they are targeting they must be held accountable shukria Barak Barak a former Afghan parliamentarian who was Afghanistan's ambassador to Norway a greed on the international community's silence on the taliban's oppression of the Afghanistan's 14 million women and girls had played its part in the criminalization of women's bodies and voices it is concerning that the international organizations particularly the UN and the European Union instead of standing against these inhumane practices are trying to normalize relations with the Taliban they are in a way whitewashing this group disregarding the fact that the Taliban are committing widespread human rights violations in the three years since seizing power from the us-backed government the Taliban have imposed what human rights groups are calling a gender apartheid excluding women and girls from almost every aspect of public life and denying them access to the justice system prior to the new Vice and virtue laws women and girls were already blocked from attending Secondary School banned from almost every form of paid employment and prevented from walking in public parks attending gyms or beauty salons and told to comply with a strict dress code earlier this year the Taliban also announced the reintroduction of public flogging and stoning of women for adultery this is where we are this is what women and girls are facing these women and girls are basically being erased the international the the world has got to do something to protect women and girls globally because women and girls cannot go through this this is inhumane this is terrible and the globe needs to do something about this join the conversation please share this please if you're a content creator create your own content but get the word out
