The Taliban administration in Afghanistan has ordered beauty salons to close within a month, the morality ministry said, in the latest shrinking of access to public places for Afghan women.
“The deadline for the closing of beauty parlours for women is one month,” Mohammad Sadiq Akif, a spokesman for the Ministry for the Prevention of Vice and Propagation of Virtue, said on Tuesday, referring to a ministry notice.
Foreign governments and UN officials have condemned growing restrictions on women since the Taliban returned to power in 2021 after defeating a US-backed government as foreign forces withdrew.
Last year, authorities closed most girls’ high schools, barred women from university and stopped many female Afghan aid staff from working. Many public places including bathhouses, gyms and parks have been closed to women.
阿富汗道德部表示,塔利班政府已下令美容院在一个月内关闭,这是对阿富汗妇女进入公共场所的最新一次限制。
防恶与美德传播部发言人穆罕默德·萨迪克周二在提及该部通知时表示,“关闭女性美容院最后期限是一个月”。
自从塔利班在外国部队撤军后击败美国支持的政府,外国政府和联合国官员一直谴责对妇女日益严格的限制。 去年,当局关闭了大多数女子中学,禁止妇女上大学,并阻止许多阿富汗女性援助人员的工作。 包括浴室,体育馆和公园在内的许多公共场所都对女性关闭。
