Taliban tell Afghan women to stay home from work because soldiers are 'not trained' to respect them

A Taliban fighter walks past a Kabul beauty salon, where images of women are defaced by spray paint.

Fear is mounting for women and girls in Afghanistan after the Taliban told working women to stay at home, admitting they were not safe in the hands of the militant group's soldiers.

Taliban spokesperson Zabiullah Mujahid said at a news conference on Tuesday that women should not go to work for their own safety, undermining the group's efforts to convince international observers that the group would be more tolerant towards women than when they were last in power.

The instruction came the same day that the World Bank halted funding in Afghanistan, citing concerns about the safety of women, and within hours of the UN calling for a "transparent and prompt investigation" into reports of human rights abuses since the Taliban takeover.

Mujahid said the guidance to stay at home would be temporary, and would allow the group to find ways to ensure that women are not "treated in a disrespectful way" or "God forbid, hurt." He admitted the measure was necessary because the Taliban's soldiers "keep changing and are not trained."

"We are happy for them to enter the buildings but we want to make sure they do not face any worries," he said. "Therefore, we have asked them to take time off from work until the situation gets back to a normal order and women related procedures are in place, then they can return to their jobs once it's announced."

When last in power between 1996 and 2001 the militant group banned women from the workplace, stopped them from leaving the home unaccompanied and forced them to cover their entire bodies.

That loud background noise is the sound of liberals being mugged by reality. How long before Liz Cheney demands that we go back into Afghanistan for a rescue mission?

Surely Biden will extend unemployment benefits to these Afghan wimmen - by the Dems’ definition, it’s infrastructure.

Like maybe two weeks to flatten the curve?

The vapid Democratic women who swooned over the brutal thug Andrew Cuomo are now becoming infatuated with the robed medeival Taliban who carry guns and make no secret how they dominate women. Biden does not exist in a cultural or political vaccum. The Left at its core is psychotic.

“They don’t want them to worry...”. Pelosi should go to that salon to show how kind they are. What a joke.

Our nation is bankrupt and collapsing. We cannot afford to go more bankrupt so that Afghan women can have beauty salons.

I just read an account (I can’t find it) done by a sociologist that studies this stuff all over the middle east, that only about 10 or 20 percent of Afghans” can write their names or even COUNT to ten.

Don't be silly. We have plenty of money. Ask Nancy and all the Dems that just spent another $3.5 TRILLION.

Yes, 3.5 times what was just spent for the supposed 1 trillion dollar infrastructure bill.
