Women and families have been banned from green spaces and restaurants with gardens in the Herat province by the Taliban. The Taliban has also put restrictions on education for women.
The Taliban have banned families and women from restaurants with gardens or green spaces in, an official said Monday. The moves followed complaints from religious scholars and members of the public about mixing of genders in such places, he said.
Authorities say the curbs are in place because of gender mixing or because women allegedly are not wearing the hijab, or Islamic headscarf, correctly.The outdoor dining ban only applies to establishments in Herat, where such premises remain open to men. Baz Mohammad Nazir, a deputy official from the Ministry of Vice and Virtue's directorate in Herat, denied media reports that all restaurants were off limits to families and women, dismissing them as propaganda.
