Afghan women protest as Taliban government imposes new restrictions on mobility

They ask for work and education. They claim united in the Rezia Bromand Network of Political Participation of the Women of Afghanistan.

Twenty women challenged the Kabul government, which now limits the space in which they can travel alone within a 70-kilometer radius of their home.

They asked the country’s Taliban leaders for education, work and political participation.

They explained to the international press in Kabul: “We call for the reopening of girls’ schools throughout the country, recognize the right to work and education for women, guarantee security while respecting the rights of ethnic minorities and give women an active role in government. “

The toughening of the Taliban government is contested by these women chanting slogans such as “elimination of women, elimination of the human being.

The schooling of girls under the Taliban regime is totally arbitrary depending on the city or town and in many provinces they are not allowed to attend school after the sixth grade.

The international community has little influence to reopen schools and allow girls to enter classrooms in Afghanistan.
