Taliban Ban Women from shopping in Tagab district

Taliban warned residents of Tagab district of Kapisa province against allowing their women to visit the district bazaar. Several residents of the district said that the Taliban made announcements in mosques during Eid al-Adha days, asking residents not allow their women and daughter to visit the bazaar. Residents said that Taliban told them to punish if they see girls and women in Bazaar. One of the residents also said that Taliban said they will punish the shopkeeper who sell things to women and girls. Another resident speaking on the condition of anonymity told Killid that Taliban said only and only an ailing woman who must be accompanied by a family elder can go to visit a doctor. Meanwhile security officials in the district told media that Taliban removed curtains the shopkeepers had installed in front of their shops to show women what they wanted to purchase hidden from people’s eyes. Taliban last year banned watching television in the district.
