Scribbled anti-regime writings have surfaced throughout the city, demanding freedom for women to participate in society and girls to receive an education.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe women denounce the increased restrictions against them, and write their demands on walls, including slogans calling for girls\u2019 right to education, women\u2019s right to work, women\u2019s choice of clothes and the inclusion of women in social and political life,\u201d Tolo News reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur protests were met with threats and violence, so we switched to murals to achieve our fundamental rights and will continue these protests,\u201d a woman named Tamana Rezaie told Tolo, admitting to participating in the graffiti protests.<\/p>\n<p>Another protester identified only as Leda confirmed that the change in tactic was necessary because of the physical violence perpetrated against women who demanded being allowed to practice basic freedoms.<\/p>\n<p>Tolo News cited a Taliban spokesman insisting, \u201cThe Islamic Emirate (Taliban) has not created any obstacles in the way of women\u2019s rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Taliban jihadists have insisted on inclusion and support for women since their takeover, despite their long trajectory of rampant human rights abuses. Most recently, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/asia\/2022\/01\/05\/inclusive-taliban-military-will-include-women-suicide-bombers\/\">said<\/a>&nbsp;the Taliban will find roles for women in the revamped Afghan military. The official government armed forces of Afghanistan, the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF), collapsed in August. Mujahid did not specify in what form women would serve in the armed forces or if there were any limitations, however. Taliban officials also announced last week that the new Afghan military would have a special force of suicide bombers.<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Frances Martel on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/francesimartel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/francesimartel\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1641649586431000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2qb7s_yht6bVIqM52HrsX1\">Facebook<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/francesmartel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/twitter.com\/francesmartel&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1641649586431000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0TGxQie-dT9gk1AOJXZV6a\">Twitter.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Taliban\u2019s \u201cMinistry of Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice\u201d has peppered Kabul with posters mandating women wear\u00a0hijab but illustrated with the full-body\u00a0burqa covering, Afghanistan\u2019s Khaama Press reported Monday. &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1205605","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1205605","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1205605"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1205605\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1205605"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1205605"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1205605"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
