TL;DR Summary

A UN report reveals that the Taliban are imposing severe restrictions on single and unaccompanied Afghan women, including limiting their access to work, travel, and healthcare. The Taliban's Vice and Virtue Ministry has advised unmarried women to get married if they want to keep their jobs, and they have enforced a dress code, arrested women for not complying with their interpretation of hijab, and detained female healthcare workers for going to work without a male guardian. The Taliban's chief spokesman defended these actions, stating that they are based on Islamic law and must be fully implemented for both men and women.
