The Taliban have ordered Afghan hair and beauty shops to close due to the most recent restrictions placed on women.
The BBC companies had one quarter to follow, beginning on July 2 when they were first made aware of the move, according to a Vice and Virtue Ministry official.
Since the Taliban took control in 2021, children’s rights have steadily decreased.
Additionally, the Taliban have ruled that women may wear clothing that only exposes their eyes and that they must travel at least 72 kilometers( 48 miles ) with a male relative.
Despite protests by women and activists speaking out on their behalf, as well as international criticism, the restrictions have persisted.
When the Taliban were last in energy between 1996 and 2001, they imposed a wide range of measures, including the closure of splendor shops. However, they reopened a few years after the US-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001.
Even after the Taliban retook energy two years ago as a result of US troops withdrawing, they continued to operate openly. However, images of women outside shops were frequently mist painted to hide their faces, and storefront windows frequently were covered.
The Taliban state has not provided any explanation for the ban or what options, if any, may be open to women once the shops were closed.
