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.
Soooooo, instead of educating young boys and men about respect and decency, they instead force women to cover themselves completely, and now remove windows from buildings, because young boys and men can’t be trusted to be basic human beings?
Yeah, you know you’re doing it right when you have to force other people to bend to your degeneracy.
Aside from the obvious egregious human rights violations here, there's going to be a lot of health repercussions for this.
Not getting enough, or any sunlight can cause vitamin d deficiency which can cause a whole host of problems. Including if a woman breastfeeds without getting enough vitamin d her baby will also be deficient. Get ready for a bunch of children who are going to be at a high risk for developing rickets.
I guess that's the price they're willing to pay to oppress women?
I'm curious, are these women actually flirting with these perverted creeps from the window... or are they flashing signs to each other because it's the only way they can talk?
And just when I thought the Taliban's laws against women were too extreme already, they decide to do this. They quite literally can stoop way lower than I thought.
I feel so bad. Thanks for ruining my first day of 2025, Taliban.
Today, Pakistan, tomorrow, USA. You might be sceptical today, but if you think it really couldn't happen in America, you haven't been paying nearly enough attention.
The only solution would be the women rising up and stealing their husbands and brothers guns to foment a violent revolution. Sure some will probably be killed in the uprising but I'm sure it will end quickly because it would be very inconceivably stupid of the men to kill such a large number of women, then whom would they procreate with?
I wonder what the region would look like without centuries of western capitalist oppression by europe and most recently the US.
When do we get to the part of the episode where James T Kirk, prime directive be damned, finds the meglomaniacal computer controlling these men, and blows it up?
So, does the Tali ban a ban on windows? So it's not allowed to ban windows? So they're the Talibanban now? Or did they approve a ban on windows, so they're the Taliaproveban now? This is so confusing.
The Taliban have banned windows in homes that allow views of areas where Afghan women might be seen, citing concerns over "obscene acts."
Ok, just looked up the article and there is specified "inside". So they still could ban all windows facing areas where women can be seen outside too, unless, of course, they still allow women outside.
I hear this isn't the reality as media puts it, it's not as strict there. Not yet at least. Heard it from someone who's parents are from there and visited multiple times.
At least here in Portugal there are a couple leftist parties that defend talibas and Sharia Law and at the same time you cant ask a woman what time it os because thats sexual harassment... The world its a beautiful place
