The head of the Good and Forbidding the Evil of Islamic Emirate has announced that women do not have the right to use public baths.
This decision has angered women and women’s rights organizations in the country.

Ms. Ahmadi adds that why the Taliban still want to create restrictions and problems for women.

Set problems or restrictions for women.
Bathing has been inherited from us for many years and it is a necessity for every family to take a bath because many families do not have the necessary facilities for bathing in their homes.
