Afghanistan Women Afghanistan: Women can only enter parks for three days in a week, directs Taliban
Kabul: The Ministry of Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan issued yet another bizarre diktat by which women can only go to parks three days a week while men are given four days in the country.
“All the owners and officials of parks are hereby informed that Sunday, Monday, Tuesday are allocated for women and men can go to parks on, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Women should observe Islamic hijab," read a statement issued by the ministry as quoted by Khaama Press.
The Ministry has instructed all Mujahideen (Taliban affiliates) not to enter Parks with weapons and military uniforms on the days allocated for men lest they will be held accountable, the news agency reported.
The Taliban government snatched power in Afghanistan last year.
