Taliban Bans Women From ‘hearing Other Women’s Voices by phoneport(op): 3:29pm On Oct 29, 2024
The Taliban has banned women from hearing other women’s voices in its latest attempt to restrict women in Afghanistan.

In a voice message on Monday, October 28, the country’s minister for the promotion of virtue and prevention of vice announced the bizarre new restriction on women’s behaviour

Although precise details of the Taliban’s ruling are unclear, Afghan human rights activists have warned it could mean women are effectively banned from holding conversations with one another.

In his message, minister Khalid Hanafi said: “Even when an adult female prays and another female passes by, she must not pray loudly enough for them to hear.”

“How could they be allowed to sing if they aren’t even permitted to hear [each other’s] voices while praying, let alone for anything else.”

He said these are “new rules and will be gradually implemented, and God will be helping us in each step we take”.

As the Taliban has banned living beings from being shown on television, his message was delivered via voice recording instead of a television broadcast.

“How are women who are the sole providers for their families supposed to buy bread, seek medical care or simply exist if even their voices are forbidden?” one activist said in response.


“Whatever he says is a form of mental torture for us,” an Afghan woman in Kabul told The Telegraph.

“Living in Afghanistan is incredibly painful for us as women. Afghanistan is forgotten, and that’s why they are suppressing us – they are torturing us on a daily basis.”

“They say we cannot hear other women’s voices, and I do not understand where these views come from,” she added.

Since taking power in Aug 2021, the Taliban has systematically restricted women’s rights in Afghanistan.

Women have already been ordered to cover their faces “to avoid temptation and tempting others” and refrain from speaking in the presence of unfamiliar men who are not husbands or close relatives.

“If it is necessary for women to leave their homes, they must cover their faces and voices from men” and be accompanied by a “male guardian”, according to the rules approved by the Taliban’s supreme leader.
Afghan women have also been ordered not to speak loudly inside their homes, to prevent their voices from being heard outside.

Women who defy the new rules will be arrested and sent to prison, the Taliban said.

The Taliban’s supreme leader has also vowed to start stoning women to death in public.

“They [the Taliban] are waging an all-out war against us, and we have no one in the world to hear our voices,” a former civil servant told The Telegraph from Kabul.

“The world has abandoned us,” she added. “They left us to the Taliban, and whatever happens to us now is a result of Western government policies.”

“I feel depressed. The world is advancing in technology and having fun with their lives, but here we cannot even hear each other’s voices,” she said.

“They want us not to exist at all, and there’s nothing we can do about it,” another woman in western Herat province said.

“They may succeed at some point, as many are taking their lives due to the pressure,” she added

“They think ruling Afghanistan is only about suppressing women – we didn’t commit a crime by being born as women,” she said.

Below are some of the things the Taliban has said Afghan women are not allowed to do:

1.Drive a car

2.Speak in public

3.Speak loudly inside your house

4. Travel alone

4. Own a smartphone

6. Wear bright clothes

7. Wear high-heels

8. Go to high school or university

9. Sing

10. Read the Quran aloud in public

11. Look at men they don’t know

12. Attend a protest

13. Go to the gym

14. Go to the park

15. Work in the civil service

16. Ride in a taxi

17. Go abroad

18. Show their faces in public

19. Speak to a male doctor

20. Play sport

Can't you all see how Afghanistan is quickly becoming the model Islamic nation out there. Compared to them, Saudi Arabians are infidels, their women wh0res, and Mecca is but now a city filled with blasphemous sights and sounds. grin

This doesn't really add up at all.

If a female can not assess a male doctor for her health challenge, how is a female doctor suppose to hear her out if they are banned from hearing each others voices?

To think they are some women that escape this country to A saner clime and instead of using this new freedom to advocate for their relative's in Afghanistan, they are protesting that Europe should turn to another Afghanistan through Shar*a.
Proving those that said women can't manage freedom right.

Solution: Europe should Depot All those clamouring for shar*a law in Europe to Afghanistan so that they can serve their God with all faithfulness.

It has already started in the north.

That is the thing! The religion seems to revolve around demeaning and even humiliating the female in every way possible. She is reduced, contained, controlled, and for what... all for the pleasures of the man and his mighty manhood. When their egos and manhoods are pleased, only then do they declare their deity pleased or traditions served. And this is not in any way unique to Islam mind you cause there are cultures(equally religions) out there that operate the same way. undecided

Islam is truly bad, I don't support religious bashing as a balanced Christian but I have to say this.

That religion is evil

One day they will tell women not to breath again
