os talibãs sabem o que é melhor para as mulheres

′′ More than three weeks after taking power in Afghanistan, the Taliban unveiled their provisional government Tuesday, September 7th evening, but their political agenda remains very blurry.

A Taliban Cultural Committee official, Ahmadullah Wasiq, however, explained to the Australian media SBS News that women would not be allowed to play cricket or any other sport under the new regime (see video above).

Their Supreme Leader, Hibatullah Akhundzada, in a very rare public intervention, had insisted that the government would have the task of enforcing Islamic law Sharia law.

Women’s Rights

The Taliban’s first move to power between 1996 and 2001 was marked by the disappearance of women from public space. Islamists have multiplied actions and statements since August 15 to try to reassure this, claiming that women’s rights would be respected in accordance with Shariah.

They announced that Afghan women could study in college, but in non-mixed classes, and with abaya (traditional long clothing) and niqab (veil covering the whole face except the eyes) mandatory. They will also be able to work but ′′ in accordance with the principles of Islam “.

Under their previous regime, women were not allowed to work or study, with few exceptions. The absence of women in the provisional government, however, is a bad signal.

Strangers also remain on women’s right to go out on the streets without being accompanied by a man, what was banned by the Taliban in the 1990 s or the obligation to wear the burqa (thick veil covering the body) and hiding the eyes).

Face and body covered

Under their first government, some sports were allowed, but they were strictly controlled: only men could play or attend meetings.

According to the latest Taliban statements, women should still not be allowed to exercise.

′′ They could face a situation where their face and bodies will not be covered “, Ahmadullah Wasiq explained Thursday. ′′ Islam does not allow women to be seen like this.”
