Women stopped from entering amusement parks in Afghan capital

Afghan women were stopped from entering amusement parks in Kabul on Wednesday after the Taliban’s morality ministry said there would be restrictions on women being able to access public parks.

Since taking over Afghanistan last year, Taliban have said women should not leave the home without a male relative and must cover their faces.

Western governments have said the group needs to reverse its course on women’s rights for any path towards formal recognition of the Taliban government.
