The Taliban is already banning two female presenters at state-run Radio Television Afghanistan from coming to work work, according to the Washington Post and the Committee to Protect Journalists.
The Taliban, despite its public commitments to allowing women in public life, has a long track record of hostility to a free press and to women serving in public-facing roles. The group has ramped up its attacks on the media in recent months, and its retaking of Afghanistan is already rolling back much of the progress of the last 20 years on press freedom and women's equality in the country.
One female anchor at RTA, Khadija Amin, showed up to work to find that a male anchor had taken her place, with the new Taliban leadership of the outlet telling her to "stay at home for a few more days."
"There has been a change in the programs … [and] there are no female presenters or female journalists," Amin said, according to independent Tolo News.
Another female employee, presenter Shabnam Dawran, said she wasn't even let into the building.
"I was not allowed in, even though I was carrying my ID badge," Dawran said in a video posted to social media, according to the Post. "Male workers were allowed, but I was threatened. They told me that the regime has changed..our lives are under serious threat."
Female Afghan journalists have reported on the Taliban takeover of their country despite mounting threats from the Taliban.
In addition to the female broadcasters taken off the air, CNN reported on Monday that the Taliban had visited the homes of and made threatening calls to some female journalists. Taliban fighters also assaulted two male journalists covering protests in the eastern Afghan city of Jalalabad, according to CPJ.

Squad..... Crickets.
Hmmmm. Looking at some of the evil witches on the lamestream networks, they might be on to something. We might have some suggestions on who to send over to invesigate. 😨🙌
Time for all the women to head for Europe and anywhere else they can get to. Unmarried Afghan women should be given priority immigration status by all countries - the head of the line.
Sure is sounding more and more like “Jimmy Carter and the Hostages”
We have heard this song before and it doesn’t end well.
Social justice warriors want to ban white males. Taliban are learning from them.
So, in the ranking of special classes in America, what’s higher, women’s rights, or Muslim rights?
We all know black is #1, but it gets fuzzy after that. For example, is gay higher than Latino? Is female higher than native American?
Let’s see where how the ranking unfolds. Of course, because we are ethical people, and ethics are situational, all of this may only apply in this situation, since there is no doctrine nor consistency.
I am a veteran. But we are pretty low what special groups are concerned.
Everyone wants to be special today. With being special comes money and benefits... That’s what politicians have created.
They did say they’d respect the rights of women. Within the bounds of Shariah law. So those women haven’t been fired, they just can’t work. Nuance, people, nuance...
Send in antifa to protest and punch a few dudes.
They should protest.
Why don’t the women just go out and beat the hell out of the tally-bon.....you know like on TV and stuff? Women are always kicking the crap out of armed men twice their size.
They sound surprised.
When are they going to ban that hag from CNN who spent so long breaking sharia law before the Talibiden took over?
All of us who lived through that terrible time of humiliation are now reminded of such things as the planned to be ready for US TV cameras of the taking outside of the embassy garbage wrapped in an American flag by young bearded Iranians looking smug and superior.
Triggering? Yessir.
Time for the Afghan women to take up arms along with any men who are willing to fight. I know, it’s easy for me to say that, sitting safely, for now, on my easy chair smoking my (tobacco) pipe.
I honestly don’t care. We have bigger fish to fry there like getting our people out rather than whether this woman is treated fairly in the workplace in caveman society. We did not go there to assure she would not get fired.
They respect any Afghani woman who can spend hours in the kitchen preparing any one of six different recipes for goat which she learned from her mother. Who needs that going to college and becoming a CEO and that sitting at the boardroom table to make decisions kind of stuff? That's respect enough, right?
Only if they are hot
Fox has ZERO reporters internationally. The don’t do news.
They are a talking head domestic operation......
Fox needs to wake up.......start reporting news instead of gumming the headlines with talking heads like the Five.
