Taliban bans windows in homes overlooking areas with women, deepening concerns of "gender apartheid."
Taliban leader has banned windows in residential buildings that overlook areas where women are present, such as courtyards and kitchens, and existing windows must be blocked. This follows a series of restrictions since the Taliban regained power in 2021, including bans on education for girls past primary school and limitations on women's employment and public participation. The move has been criticized as part of a broader effort to control women's lives, leading to concerns about "gender apartheid" in Afghanistan.
