The United Nations Women’s Department has said in a new report that the mental health of women in Afghanistan is deteriorating, and according to surveys, seven out of every 10 women in Afghanistan suffer from mental and emotional problems.
The United Nations Women’s Department said in a report that this survey was conducted in April this year and that 7 out of 10 women in Afghanistan suffer from mental and emotional problems and feel anxious. They become isolated and depressed.
The report states that in multiple surveys, 73 to 91 percent of female respondents said that their mental health was slightly or significantly worse.
According to this UN report, a number of women in this survey said that they do not feel safe when leaving the house alone.
However, in similar questions asked to men in this survey, 31 percent said they felt safe, and another 63 percent said they felt “somewhat” safe.
The United Nations Women’s Department has said in this report that women and girls in Afghanistan are facing gender inequalities and the continuation of this situation aggravates women’s mental health.
However, in the last three years, the Taliban have prohibited girls and women from going to school, university and work, among other restrictions on the lives of the country’s citizens.
Recently, the new law of commanding good and forbidding evil has even labeled women’s voices as “women”.
The Law of Enjoining the Good and Prohibiting the Evil of the Taliban has been approved by Hebatullah Akhundzadeh in 1 introduction, 4 chapters and 35 articles. This law calls women’s body, face and voice “women” and emphasizes that even reading naats and recitations by women is not allowed and their voices should not be heard anywhere. According to this law, it is forbidden to see live photos and movies on phones, computers, and any other device. According to this law of the Taliban, men are obliged to grow a beard and avoid tying the knot and cutting their hair in the western style.
It has been said in the law of the Taliban that it is forbidden to transport women without Muharram by drivers. In this law, all games and entertainments, including gambling and four-brained gambling, are prohibited and forbidden. According to this law, all merchants, businessmen and farmers have to pay zakat and tithe to this group in addition to paying taxes. The use of statues of living objects in advertisements is prohibited and the officials of this group are authorized to imprison people from 1 hour to 3 days.
