The Taliban have banned windows that look onto areas where Afghan women could be seen inside their homes.
"Seeing women working in kitchens, in courtyards or collecting water from wells can lead to obscene acts," government spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid posted on X on Saturday.
Newsweek has contacted the Afghan Ministry of Foreign Affairs, via email, for comment.
Why It Matters
This is the latest move taken by the group in its repression of women since the U.S. and its allies pulled out of Afghanistan in February 2020.
The Taliban have taken multiple steps to walk back women's rights since taking over the country in August 2021, including banning education for girls beyond grade six, banning women from universities and, most recently, banning women's voices and bare faces in public.
