Taliban Tells Working Women To Stay Home As Soldiers 'Not Trained' Yet

They have claimed that it is “a very temporary procedure”.

The Taliban has told working women in Afghanistan to stay home as they are not safe in the presence of the group’s soldiers. They have also, however, claimed that it is “a very temporary procedure”.

According to CNN, addressing a news conference, Taliban spokesperson Zabiullah Mujahid said on Tuesday, 24 August, "We are happy for them (women) to enter the buildings but we want to make sure they do not face any worries.”

"Therefore, we have asked them to take time off from work until the situation gets back to a normal order and women related procedures are in place, then they can return to their jobs once it's announced."
