Afghan Women Hold Protest in Kabul Against Taliban’s Restrictions
A group of Afghan women held a demonstration against the Taliban restrictions on women in front of the UN office in Kabul. According to videos received by Afghanistan International, these women chanted the slogans "Women, Justice, Freedom" and "Education, Work, Freedom".
Members of the Afghanistan Women's Justice Movement and Afghanistan Women's Political Participation Network were present during the demonstration.
Sources close to the protesters told Afghanistan International that the Taliban did not prevent the demonstration in front of the UN office at first, but at the end of the protest when the protesters were on their way home, they deliberately rammed their vehicles against the protesters and injured three of them.
The source added that the Taliban vehicle ran over the foot of one of the protestors.
