Afghanistan: Taliban ban women from Kabul parks
10 November 2022

The Taliban have banned women from visiting all parks in Kabul, excluding them still further from public life in Afghanistan.
A spokesman for the Vice and Virtue Ministry told the BBC those managing parks in the capital had been told not to allow women in.
The group claims Islamic laws were not being followed at parks.
Women's rights and freedoms have been severely restricted since the militant Islamists seized power in August 2021.
Under Taliban rules on segregating people by gender, women have been allowed to visit parks on three days every week - Sunday, Monday, Tuesday - and men on the remaining four.

They would have fought the hardest. Far harder than the men.
About to start a book The Daughters Of Kobani, about an all-female Kurdish militia that defeated ISIS in Syria. Looks to be really good.
