Taliban Bans Windows Overlooking Women: A New Level of Misogyny
To curb what the Taliban deems “obscene acts,” a new decree prohibits windows overlooking areas typically used by women in new residential buildings. This directive, issued by Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid, mandates that municipal authorities enforce the rule, requiring modifications to existing structures with such windows. The ban is the latest in a series of increasingly restrictive measures targeting women’s rights and freedoms, prompting international condemnation. These actions are occurring amidst escalating tensions between the Taliban and Pakistan.
