The US Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) reacted to recent policy announced by the Taliban government following a report by Human Rights Watch (HRW) about Taliban restricting women and girls’ sports activities and their access to medical services.
Last week, the Ministry of Virtue and Vice wrote a letter recommending that unaccompanied women should not go to sports and health centers.
The US Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction reacted to the restrictions on women’s sports activities.
“According to Human Rights Watch, there have been a number of concerning reports, including: Taliban bans on women’s sports, limited women’s access to health care due to Taliban rules requiring women to be chaperoned by a man,” SIGAR said.
