The Taliban has quickly moved to halt and roll back progress made by women in Afghanistan and as part of their attack on women’s rights, the radical Islamic group is now banning women from participating in sports, according to reports.
Deputy head of the Taliban’s cultural commission, Ahmadullah Wasiq, announced the new law to the Australian broadcaster SBS.
“I don’t think women will be allowed to play cricket because it is not necessary that women should play cricket,” Wasiq said. “In cricket, they might face a situation where their face and body will not be covered. Islam does not allow women to be seen like this.”
He added that women’s sports were not appropriate or necessary.
“It is the media era, and there will be photos and videos, and then people watch it. Islam and the Islamic Emirate [Afghanistan] do not allow women to play cricket or play the kind of sports where they get exposed.”
The Taliban shaped their interim government and began work on Wednesday. Notably, none of the loyalist officials who shape the government include any women, even after officials promised to build an inclusive government shortly after retaking Afghanistan, according to The Guardian.
Officials from the U.S. Department of State expressed their own concerns about the lack of inclusivity in the official Taliban cabinet, adding that leadership would be held accountable based on its disturbing track record.

“Taliban prohibits women from playing sports”
Well, the Democrats here are doing the same, by allowing men to take over what used to be women’s sports.
I happened to agree with them on this. It isn’t safe for people to play sports or do athletic activities when they are fully cloaked and have a black net covering their eyes. /S
Didn’t take long, did it?
Joe Biden is going down as the worst President in US history and he’s dragging his Party with him
“The world is watching closely,” a state department statement read.
Or what? You’ve already made clear to the taliban and the entire world that you are weak and will do nothing. They respond to force, and you are not in a position to exert force, and wouldn’t even if you could. The allies who no longer trust the U.S. under Biden won’t do anything either.
