Taliban restricts women from travelling more than 72 kilometres unless they are accompanied by a close male relative
Afghanistan's Taliban authorities said that women seeking to travel anything other than short distances should not be offered transport unless they are accompanied by a close male relative.
"Women travelling for more than 45 miles should not be offered a ride if they are not accompanied by a close family member," ministry spokesperson Sadeq Akif Muhajir said, specifying that it must be a close male relative. The Taliban's interpretation of the hijab – which can range from a hair covering to a face veil or full-body covering – is unclear, and the majority of Afghan women already wear headscarves.Restrictions on women
