Taliban bans women from national parks in Afghanistan

The Taliban’s decision to ban women from entering national parks in Afghanistan has ignited outrage and concern both domestically and on the international stage.

Recently, the Taliban have banned women from  visiting one of Afghanistan’s most popular nation parks, Band-e-Amir, due to complaints about a woman not adhering to the hijab policy of the country.

Taliban argues that the ban is necessary to maintain “public order” and to prevent women from mingling with unrelated men.

The international community has widely condemned this ban, expressing deep concern for the rights and well-being of Afghan women.

Human rights organizations, foreign governments, and women’s advocacy groups have all voiced their objections.

Many fear that such measures could isolate Afghanistan from the international community and lead to further sanctions or diplomatic isolation.
