Summary

The Taliban have banned windows in homes that allow views of areas where Afghan women might be seen, citing concerns over “obscene acts.”

This new decree mandates blocking or obstructing such windows in existing and new buildings, continuing the group’s systemic repression of women since regaining control of Afghanistan in August 2021.

The Taliban’s policies have included bans on women’s education, public appearances, and voices.

Critics, including the U.N., warn these actions dangerously erode human rights, while activists call out global inaction over the ongoing oppression.

    I have a problem with religion in general. It is always a tool of oppression. It doesn’t really matter if how you slice it, but the abrahmic religions are just especially bad. You always have the the priest class that is better than the rest and most of the time the incredulous are worth nothing. The fundamentalists just make this inherent property of religion stronger and worse.

      Even if what you said was true, you’re not backing your claim about the “she asked for it” mindset.

      Okay lemme tell you: That is straight up projection. Only Christianity has that. Maybe Judaism does too I’m not sure about that one, but I can tell you that Islam sure as hell doesn’t. Islam is, surprisingly enough, not organized religion in the sense atheists in the West like to hate about. In fact, it’s very critical of the way Judaism and Christianity put their priests above their stations, likening it to worship in at least one instance.

      most of the time the incredulous are worth nothing.

      The who?
