Taliban Detain 30 Women for Hijab Violations, According to UN Report

12 Haziran 2026DW

The Taliban have arrested 30 women for allegedly violating hijab rules, highlighting the ongoing repression faced by women in Afghanistan. Under Taliban rule, women have been increasingly marginalized, facing restrictions that limit their participation in society.
This incident underscores the severe challenges women face in asserting their rights and freedoms in the country.
Since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan in August 2021, there has been a significant rollback of women's rights, with many being barred from education, employment, and public life. The enforcement of strict dress codes, including hijab mandates, has become a focal point of this repression.
The arrests reflect a broader pattern of systemic oppression against women in Afghanistan since the Taliban regained power. Such actions not only violate fundamental human rights but also signal a troubling regression in societal norms regarding gender equality.
