Kabul (Afghanistan) – In an interview to Tolo News, a Taliban Spokesperson said that a woman cannot become a Minister. Making a woman a Minister is like giving a person an overwhelming responsibility. He further stated, “Women should restrict themselves to giving birth only. Women don’t need to be in the cabinet, and the current women protesters do not represent all women in Afghanistan”. Earlier, the Taliban had promised equal rights to women.

Protests against the Taliban Government have been raging in Kabul and other cities for the past few weeks. The involvement of women in these protests is significant. There are protests for equal rights for women, the right to education and employment.
