By returning… to the Middle Ages implies the assumption of power in Afghanistan by the Taliban, in terms of the position of women. The fear and anxiety for their life is obvious and is expressed in every way.
Analysts and foreign diplomats commenting on recent developments said that the country “goes back” 20 years, with all that implies for the status of women. Then, according to State Department reports the woman had to obey and apply eight rules, whom if he violated, he was punished by beating or even death by stoning.
Videos and photographic snapshots that have seen the light of day for the last 24 hours are breathtaking and at the same time cause intense concern and concern for the fate of the “sick sex”. Men do not hesitate to leave the road in any way, even if it means that they have to be hooked on the wheels of an aircraft, while it is preparing to take off.
Persecution from work
The women’s nightmare began early last month when the Taliban stormed Azizi Bank in Kandahar at gunpoint. and ordered nine workers to leave. According to the Al Jazeera network, the Taliban escorted them to their homes and ordered them not to return to work. Men of their family would take their place.
It should be noted that from 1996 to 2001, the period that the Taliban had power in Afghanistan, women were not allowed to work, young girls were not allowed to go to school and it was mandatory for all women to cover their faces, and to go out they had to be accompanied by a male member of their family.
In more detail, as reported by businessinsider.com, according to his reports State Department in 2001, the eight rules that applied to women, having been imposed by the Taliban regime, were the following:
1. They had to be covered with clothes from the top to the nails.
2. They were not allowed to work, except in very specific cases.
3. They were not allowed to go to school.
4. They had limited access to the Health system.
5. They could not leave their home without being accompanied by a male member of their family.
6. When they went out, they got on special buses, while in order to get into a taxi, they had to be accompanied again by a man, their relative.
7. In general, women could not walk on the street without being accompanied by a man who is their relative.
8. The windows of their houses had to be painted so that no passers-by could see inside.
It makes sense, after all, for women to express anxiety and fear for their future after the Taliban return to power. Especially if one considers that, in case of violation of any of the above rules, women were punished with beatings and, in many cases, with death by stoning.
