Quick Glance: Taliban Ban Women's Beauty Salons in Afghanistan
  • Government spokesman announces ban on women's beauty salons in Afghanistan.

  • The ban applies to Kabul and all provinces, giving salons across the country one month to wind down their businesses.

  • Despite initial promises of a more moderate rule than during their previous stint in power in the 1990s, the Taliban have imposed harsh measures since seizing Afghanistan in August 2021, including barring women from public spaces like parks and gyms and cracking down on media freedoms.
