Women In Afghanistan Held A Rare Protest Against The Taliban Banning Beauty Salons

Описание: Women in Afghanistan held a rare protest against the Taliban banning beauty salons.

On July 4, the Taliban ordered all beauty salons to close in a month because some treatments were “un-Islamic”.

Women in Afghanistan were already banned from classrooms, gyms and parks.

And salons had been one of the last public places that women could socialize .

The decision to close beauty salons will also lead to the loss of around 60,000 jobs, the BBC reported.

On Wednesday July 19, about 50 women took to the streets of Kabul to protest against the ban.

The women held up signs reading “Work, food, freedom".

But they were met with water canons and tasers from Taliban guards, who also shot their guns into the air.

Since taking power in August 2021, the Taliban has increasingly restricted women’s rights, including banning girls from going to high school and university.
