Summary

The Taliban have banned windows in homes that allow views of areas where Afghan women might be seen, citing concerns over "obscene acts."

This new decree mandates blocking or obstructing such windows in existing and new buildings, continuing the group's systemic repression of women since regaining control of Afghanistan in August 2021.

The Taliban's policies have included bans on women's education, public appearances, and voices.

Critics, including the U.N., warn these actions dangerously erode human rights, while activists call out global inaction over the ongoing oppression.

Reminds me if that weird movie the film professor made us watch. Where the guy see the girls ankle because if the wind and then chases her down to rape her. I don't understand wtf this was for but I strongly suggest porn to desensitize if this is the alternative.
