The Taliban have barred women from flying alone on domestic and international airlines operating in Afghanistan.
The change in flight policy was announced on Monday as the latest move by the militant group to hinder women's rights within Afghanistan.
...
The policy specifically told airlines that women could not board a flight without a male relative or chaperone, two sources told Reuters.
The policy change barred dozens of women who arrived at Kabul's international airport from transferring flights, officials told the Associated Press on condition of anonymity. Local women and dual nationals were equally affected by the policy and were denied boarding on flights to Islamabad, Dubai, and Turkey on Kam Air and the state-owned Ariana Afghan Airlines, the officials said.

This policy is the latest action taken by Taliban authorities to inhibit women's rights within the country. The Taliban closed several girls' schools on March 23, hours after opening them, alleging that they needed to deal with breaches in the uniform policies. The closings inspired several girls to protest the closings.
The Taliban also announced new rules on Sunday that segregated men's and women's access to parks. Women were restricted to visiting parks on three days in the week.
...
Men were not exempt from the Taliban's rules either. Government employees were reportedly told they were not allowed to shave their beards and that doing so could lead to them being barred from their offices.
The bigger issue is where did they get those shoes anyway?
Do women have rights in Taliban countries?
No.
Interesting spin, considering that strict Islam places similar restrictions on just leaving the house.
I get a refresher course every time I have to unbutton my belt, take off my shoes, empty my backpack, and get felt up by TSA employees. 9-11. Fundamental, i.e., religious, Muslims caused this.
Uhh... “unbutton my belt” should be “unbuckle.”
Why?
Imagined candidates for the Mile High club?

Ah, just the religion of peace. No worries.
They don't pick fights with people who will fight back, or in this case, recycle them.
Being Muslim means always an ahole.
Won’t be long before they’re executing women and girls in the stadium again
