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.

Oh don't worry that's just the multipolar world kicking in

So basically you can't have windows in any building in an urban area because you can draw a line of sight to some place where woman are.

I wonder how much more they can isolate woman. Next up, woman must be sealed in jars.

I always think about how they think this will work in the longterm. If you completely ban woman from all places and want to cover their existence you will create an environment where you simply kill your country by lowering the birthrates. When there are no places to date this will affect the birthrates in a way that, in the longterm, you will not be able to support your country because there aren't enough people to support everything.

You mean 2 decades of occupation murder and bombing didn't make them more liberal? Who'd've thought
