More than a year sincethe Taliban takeover, things seem to be going backward in Afghanistan, despite the promise of change under 'Taliban 2.0'.The living and economic conditions in the South Asian country seem to be deteriorating every day. The life of girls and women has taken a downturn that began with imposing restrictions in the name of "following Islamic principles." Firstly, the Taliban suspended girls from going to schools and colleges, not to go out without a male companion, banned them from working in NGOs, andthe list goes on. The Taliban recently banned women from working in malls, or going to a male doctor for treatment of any illness, and ordered closure of all beauty salons in the coming 10 days, reported APA.
With the list of curbs on girls and women growing longer, the United States claimed that the Taliban seemto be "unable or unwilling’ to fulfill the commitments.
According to Afghan media, the Taliban in Baghlan haveordered the landowners and dealers to not rent out space to anyfemale beauty salon owners in addition to closing down their businesses.
Beauty salons in Kunduz, Takhar, and Badakhshan provinces had already been shut down by the Taliban.
