Christian women in Afghanistan are now facing ‘double persecution,’ according to an evangelical mission agency, as draconian new Taliban restrictions take force.

All women have been banned from speaking or showing their faces in public in the Taliban’s latest infringement on women’s rights since reclaiming power in 2021.

The measures come under the regime’s new ‘vice and virtue’ laws, with the promotion of virtue and prevention of potential temptation of men cited as the reason for the crackdown.
