AFGHANISTAN : Women's rights will be respected 'within the limits of Islam', say Taliban

 


The Taliban promised yesterday that they would respect women’s rights, forgive those who had fought against them, they will not seek revenge on Afghans who worked for former or western governments, and they will also encourage a free press and restore peace. 

Laying out the Taliban’s official policy agenda for the first time since seizing power, the group’s spokesman insisted that women would be allowed to work and study but, ominously, guaranteed their rights only “within the framework of sharia”.

Zabihullah Mujahid told a press conference in Kabul that women “can have activities in different areas and serve in education and health but of course within the frameworks we have”.
