The Taliban in Afghanistan Place Severe Restrictions on Women | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

A concerning new report by the United Nations finds in Afghanistan the Taliban are placing severe restrictions on women, in particular on single and what they call unaccompanied women. According to the UN's most recent quarterly report, the Taliban is placing restrictions for work, health care and travel on women who are not married. A few years ago, the Taliban prevented girls from attending school beyond 6th grade. It also started enforcing a dress code which included wearing a head to toe burqa. The Taliban retook control of Afghanistan following the US withdrawal in 2021. Human Rights Advocate and Founder and President of the Vulnerable People Project, Jason Jones, joins to share his thoughts on this latest report from the UN. He tells us what he has seen and heard from women in Afghanistan. Jones discusses the program "Hope for Afghanistan". ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
