Thousands of men gathered in Kabul to celebrate the fourth anniversary of the Taliban's return to power, with women barred from attendance. Events included flower dropping from helicopters, while parks and recreational areas remained closed to women. The Taliban imposed restrictions based on their interpretation of Islamic law, severely limiting women's access to education and public life. Protests against these restrictions occurred, with statements from women's rights groups emphasizing that this day represents ongoing suffering and exclusion for women in Afghanistan.
Members of the United Afghan Women's Movement for Freedom staged an indoor protest against Taliban rule on Friday in the north-eastern Takhar province. This day marked the beginning of a black domination that excluded women from work, education, and social life, the movement said in a statement shared with Associated Press.
Rights groups, foreign governments and the UN have condemned the Taliban for their treatment of women and girls, who remain barred from many jobs, education beyond sixth grade and most public spaces.
