Reports from Afghan media indicate the Taliban has detained dozens of women and girls for alleged violations of dress code regulations. The arrests mark a rare instance of public dissent, with citizens reportedly taking to the streets in protest. Details regarding the exact number of those detained and the specific nature of the violations remain limited. This action represents a further restriction on women’s rights since the Taliban regained power. The public response suggests growing opposition to the increasingly stringent rules imposed on women’s lives. International observers have expressed concern over the escalating crackdown on women’s freedoms in Afghanistan. The Taliban has not yet officially commented on the arrests or the protests.
