No more hammams for #women in #Afghanistan's Balkh!
A local Taliban representative of the Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice in #Balkh province announced yesterday that women would no longer be allowed to use public bath houses.

Many depend on public, gender-separated hammams, charging 35 Afghani (about $0.30) for a warm shower.
This is yet another basic right the new leaders are denying women. What's next?

Why? I just want an answer! This’s ridiculous!
So much so for the #Taliban 2.0! History repeats itself!
Afghan women seriously need help from international community. Talib rules are like a woman spend her life in cave and never see out of it anything. the international community is still silent. Afghanistan needs to be freed from this group. we requst #DoNotRecogniseTaliban
It is not an issue. Issue at hand is mass starvation of Afgh ppl. Ppl r selling their kids to just get by few more days.
This is not the west,we have our own culture beliefs and traditions. Our community has a big difference with the west community so keep your beliefs with you we don't need your advice, but yes as a foreigner we consider your rights and beliefs so a public bath will be open on you
Hammam is Afghan culture
