Taliban Bans Women From TV Dramas

On November 21st, the Taliban issued a guideline to broadcasters banning women from appearing in television soap operas and entertainment shows. It also mandates female journalists and news presenters to wear headscarves. The new guideline issued by the Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice contained eight directives. This includes a prohibition on films that “promote foreign culture and values” and films that include men exposing “intimate body parts.” The Taliban’s restrictions are slowly mounting; this time, they are imposed on the airwaves. The guidelines also direct broadcasters to ensure that entertainment and comedy are not “based on insulting others, nor for the insult of human dignity and Islamic values.” This includes shows or any footage that depicts the Islamic prophets and their disciples. Despite their initial statements to establish a more moderate appearance, the recent actions from the Taliban are starting to overwhelm their previous rhetoric.
