Since coming to power in August 2021, the Taliban government has made a number of moves to suppress the rights of Afghan women. The latest curb it has imposed is banning women from attending the popular Band-e-Amir national park 175 kilometres west of Kabul

“Not content with depriving girls and women of education, employment, and free movement, the Taliban also want to take from them parks and sport and now even nature, as we see from this latest ban on women visiting Band-e-Amir,” Human Rights Watch’s Associate Women’s Rights Director Heather Barr says.
