The Taliban have taken multiple steps to walk back women's rights including forbidding education for girls beyond grade six and banning women from universities.

Summary

The Taliban have banned windows in homes that allow views of areas where Afghan women might be seen, citing concerns over “obscene acts.”

This new decree mandates blocking or obstructing such windows in existing and new buildings, continuing the group’s systemic repression of women since regaining control of Afghanistan in August 2021.

The Taliban’s policies have included bans on women’s education, public appearances, and voices.

Critics, including the U.N., warn these actions dangerously erode human rights, while activists call out global inaction over the ongoing oppression.

    They can’t be seen, can’t speak, women’s voices cannot be heard (even by other women), and now they can’t have windows.

    At this point, if they have such a problem, leave the men inside in a windowless box and let women do the work. It’s men getting a half chub because they heard of someone thinking of a woman. Their obsession with women is so fucking weird. It’s like they’re the boogy man or some shit.
