Watch: Taliban continues to physically torture women who speak against their regime's ban on education

New Delhi: A video from Afghanistan shows how the Taliban continue to physically torture women that take a stance in response to their regime’s ban on education.

Meanwhile, atrocities against women have increased multi-fold under the Taliban regime in Afghanistan since it returned to power in August 2021. Earlier in January, a viral video showed a Taliban cleric stating that “men are allowed to beat a woman if she doesn’t agree to dress up for her husband.” In the clip shared by human rights advocate Shabnam Nasimi, the Taliban cleric can be heard saying, “Men are allowed to beat a woman — if she leaves the house without her husband’s permission, if she doesn’t agree to dress up for her husband and if she does not pray.”

Sharing the video, Nasimi expressed concern over the lives of women in Afghanistan, saying that they are in “grave danger”. Women barred from receiving education Women in Afghanistan under the Taliban regime have been deprived of several rights including ban on school and University education. Since 15 August 2021, the Taliban have restricted women and girls’ freedom of movement, excluded women from most areas of the workforce and banned them from using parks, gyms and public bath houses. These restrictions have confined Afghan women and girls to the four walls of their homes. Last week, a video went viral on social media where a woman was being punished by Taliban officials by throwing stones at her.
