News Center- The officials of Taliban’s Ministry of Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice have been patrolling in the cities of Afghanistan, arresting and detaining women and girls for wearing “bad hijab”. 

According to the local reports, 13 girls were detained in shopping centers, street markets and public spaces in Kabul on Sunday for wearing “bad hijab”.

The Taliban forces have built checkpoints across Kabul, stopping cars to question people and arresting women and girls for wearing “bad hijab”. The women in Kabul say that the aim of the Taliban is to spread fear among women and girls because they are afraid of women’s movements. “What will happen if we take up arms like our Kurdish sisters and do not remain silent against oppression like our  Iranian sisters?” asked an Afghan woman in an interview with NuJINHA.
