But since returning to power on August 15, the Taliban did not show a tendency to respect these rights.
When pressed, Taliban officials said women had been told to stay at home for their own security but would be allowed to work once the right separation could be implemented.
“When will it happen?” A woman teacher said Monday.
“This happened last time.
They continue to say they will allow us to return to work, but it never happens.” During the first Taliban government from 1996 to 2001, women were mostly excluded from public life including leaving their homes except accompanied by male relatives.
