The Taliban's stance regarding women is to ban them from the public eye.
They are banned from towns and are forbidden to work anywhere else but in their homes, a step which lead to unemployment for tens of thousands of self employed workers and colleagues of the O.I.
These laws make life more difficult for more than 50,000 widowers in the capital alone.

	
Up until 1996, before the Taliban arrived in Kabul, 60% of the population was female, of which the majority worked in menial jobs.
The current harsh trend affects men as well as women.
The regime enforces a society where men are responsable for women's behaviour.
Anybody found violating this law are fined, beaten or even jailed .
The first step in segregation is found in the hospitals, where men and women are treated separately.
Society is under the spell of a regime that although  polices the town whilst imposing a moral utopia does nothing to solve the problem of poverty caused by destruction and under developpment.

The Taliban, armed with a very narrow interpretation of the religious law 'chariat' demand a world wide scheme concerning the integration of society.
The Taliban deny their mesures are against women and  their rights.
They affirm that their rights are affected by a strict enforcement of the "chariat" and they will re-establish the rapport between men and women.
The Taliban state they are working for women, their rights, their dignity and their honour.

But what are their rights?
What are the foundations for the role of women according to Mullah Omar, the leader of the Islamic regime in Muslim Afghanistan?
His beliefs imply that women have a different perception of tasks and responsibilities.
According to Mullah Omar "All Mighty God created men and women differently in order that they can play different roles on earth".
A proverb states: "Housework is a task for the woman whilst the rest of the world is for the fighters".
