"The Taliban have banned women from visiting one of Afghanistan’s most popular
national parks, adding to a long list of restrictions aimed at shrinking
women’s access to public places.
Thousands of people visit Band-e-Amir national park each year, taking in its
stunning landscape of sapphire-blue lakes and towering cliffs in the country’s
central Bamiyan province.
The ban was announced after the acting minister of vice and virtue complained
that women visiting the park had not been adhering to the proper way of wearing
the hijab.
“Going sightseeing is not a must for women,” said Mohammad Khalid Hanafi as he
asked security forces to begin stopping women from entering into the park."
