Taliban bans women from ‘hearing each other’

The Taliban supreme leader also pledged to start stone women to death in public.

“They (the Taliban) are waging a total war against us, and we have no one in the world to hear our voices,” a former official told the Telegraph from Kabul.

“The world has abandoned us,” she added. “They abandoned us to the Taliban, and everything that is happening to us now is the result of Policies of Western governments.”

“Many women commit suicide”

“I feel depressed. The world is progressing in technology and having the time of its life, but here we can’t even hear each other’s voices,” she said.

“They want us not to exist at all, and there is nothing we can do about it,” said another woman from the western province of Herat.

“They might succeed at some point, because many commit suicide because of the pressure,” she added.

“They think that governing Afghanistan is just a matter of remove women – we did not commit a crime by being born women,” she said.
