2 min read

Days after Afghan ladies hit the streets demanding feminine illustration within the authorities of Afghanistan, a Taliban spokesperson made it clear that there could be no feminine participation in politics.
While talking to TOLO News, Taliban spokesman Sayed Zekrullah Hashimi emphasised, “It is not necessary for a woman to be in the Cabinet.” He made it clear to the presenter that the Talibs didn’t consider that girls are equal to males. “We do not consider them half of the society. What kind of half? The half in itself is misdefined here.”
He then went on in charge ladies of ‘prostitution’ in places of work beneath the US-backed Afghan authorities in Kabul for the final 20 years. Hashimi additional added, “The female protesters do not represent all women of Afghanistan, who give birth to children and educate them on Islamic ethics.”
The Taliban spokesperson claimed that the function of ladies was restricted to producing infants. On being pressed about feminine illustration within the Interim authorities, he said, “Women cannot do the work of Afghan Ministry. It is like you put something on her neck that she can’t carry.”

Under the earlier Taliban regime (1996-2001), ladies had been prevented from pursuing training, and getting a job. They needed to cowl themselves from head to toe and needed to be accompanied by a male guardian always. Earlier in August, Taliban spokesperson Zabiullah Mujahid warned ladies from going to work for their very own security as ‘some’ of the Talibs had been but to be skilled in opposition to hurting ladies. “We are worried our forces who are new and have not been yet trained very well may mistreat women,” he had cautioned.
Recently, a video of Talibs casually expressing their misogynistic views in opposition to ladies had revealed why the Taliban’s promise of embracing a extra average outlook was nothing greater than a window dressing, aimed to challenge a mirage of refinement to achieve worldwide legitimacy and suppress inner opposition.
A BBC journalist not too long ago took to Twitter to share a video wherein a Talib was seen making an appalling analogy to justify the hijab. Explaining the significance of the hijab, the Talibani official says: “Do you buy a sliced melon or an intact melon. Of course the intact one. A woman without a hijab is like a sliced melon.”
