Taliban latest blow to women

The Taliban are marching backwards, as we all thought they would. Now women have been told they can't go anywhere further than 45 miles on their own. Anything beyond that they have to be accompanied by a male member of their family and of course be all hajibbed up. If I was an Afghan woman I would be screaming by now. The Taliban spokesman (joke) months ago said all would be different under the new 2021 regime, compared to that ghastly one in the 1990s when women were totally non-human beings. He said they would have rights and be treated with respect. Well that was all wallpaper to try and pretend that the Taliban would be freedom-loving males hoping that the international community would rush to their financial aid. But we all knew they were lying. And heyho here we are back to the old Taliban mysogenist ways. It's a dilemma for the international community. Afghanistan is in desperate need of help but unfreezing all their assets abroad and donating billions would be seen as rewarding the Taliban and while they are so anti-women and anti anything that smells of human rights and democracy, they don't deserve help of any kind. Some way must be found to help the Afghan people whose sense of hospitality and warmth to strangers is second to none in the world and still punish the Taliban regime. Meanwhile all those Afghan women who learned for the first time the joys of being as free as men in their communities are now being pushed further and further back into the shadows.
