Taliban leaders enforce brutal restrictions against women, except for their own daughters

thehill.com/opinion/4618995-taliban-leaders-enforce-brutal-restrictions-against-women-except-for-their-own-daughters/

Quick Glance: Taliban Leaders Enforce Harsh Restrictions on Women, Except Their Daughters

Women in Afghanistan faced severe restrictions under Taliban rule, contrasting with privileges granted to Taliban leaders' daughters.

The Taliban justify their actions through religion while exempting their daughters from the same rules, highlighting hypocrisy.

An international push for the condemnation of gender apartheid aims to address the systematic oppression of women.
