UN Women: Afghan women rarely leave their homes
A new survey shows that Afghan women have seldom left their houses since the Taliban takeover.
According to UN Women, the United Nations' women organization, 52 percent of surveyed women in Afghanistan reported that they have left their homes only twice or less in a month. This finding is published nearly five years after the takeover of Afghanistan by the Islamist Taliban.
The situation for women in Afghanistan has significantly deteriorated since the takeover in 2021. The survey highlights the restrictive measures that severely limit women's daily lives and reduce their freedom of movement. The specific circumstances and causes of this development are detailed in the reporting.
