The Taliban’s supreme leader has issued an order prohibiting the construction of windows in residential buildings that overlook areas where women usually work or spend time. Existing windows with such views must also be blocked, according to a statement shared late on Saturday by Taliban government spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid, as report by Dawn News. 

The decree specifies that new buildings should avoid windows allowing visibility into “the courtyard, kitchen, neighbour’s well, and other places usually used by women”. Mujahid stated on social media platform X, “Seeing women working in kitchens, courtyards, or collecting water from wells can lead to obscene acts.”
