Afghanistan: Taliban go from house to house in search of women

UA former Afghan police officer named Muskan told News18 that the Taliban go door to door looking for women and girls.

According to the same source, members of the Islamic militia commit sexual abuse, including on the bodies of dead women. “They don’t care if they are alive or dead,” she said, noting that they go door to door and snatch or kill women and girls from their families.

The former police officer’s statements come at a time when there are suspicions that the Taliban are kidnapping children to make them sex slaves following the withdrawal of foreign troops.

Muskan went to India as soon as the city of Kabul was taken by the Taliban. And he says he received information that, contrary to promises, the remaining women are being persecuted by the Taliban.

Women will receive “several warnings” that both they and their families will be subject to death threats and physical violence if they choose to work.

It is recalled that the Taliban promised to respect the rights and freedoms of women in Afghanistan and ensured that they would not take revenge on those who help the government and other countries.
