16:15Now PlayingThe Taliban's recent enforcement of a strict dress code in Kabul, leading to the arrest of women for wearing "bad hijab," marks a further erosion of women's rights in Afghanistan. This crackdown, confirmed by Abdul Ghafar Farooq, spokesperson for the Taliban’s Vice and Virtue Ministry, adds to existing bans on education, employment, and public access for Afghan women. Farooq described the detained women as "the few limited women who spread bad hijab in Islamic society,” but did not clarify the criteria for "bad hijab." The Taliban's directive mandates that women only show their eyes and preferably wear a burqa, echoing their previous rule pre-2001. The arrests, which involve female police officers and potential judicial proceedings or strict bail conditions, come amidst international scrutiny over the Taliban's treatment of women. The UN Security Council's proposal for a special envoy to address gender and human rights issues in Afghanistan was dismissed by the Taliban, and the U.S. State Department expressed concerns about the Taliban's repressive actions, stating they "made irreparable damage to Afghan society and further move the Taliban away from normalizing with the international community."
