The decrees of talibans towards the women succeed practically to exclude them from the public sphere, by forbidding them as a rule, in cities, to work outside their place of residence, what put out of work dozens of thousand employees, representatives of liberal occupations and the co-workers of the O.I. What made more difficult the conditions of existence of the widows, more than 50,000 in the only capital.

Until 1996, before the arrival of talibans to Kabul, the administration of the state counted 60 % of the women, occupying most of the time subordinate uses(jobs). But current rigour as well gets(well touches) the people as the women, because they are the husbands who are punished for a fine, of bastonnade or for a prison in case of malpractice, what shows that regime insists on the male responsibility in the control of the feminine behavior. The principle of the total separation of sexes extended also at first in hospitable care with a totally divided up medical system. The quite complete company(society) undergoes the repercussion of a regime which, while bringing a safety(security) of lives and possessions, imposes by the force a moral utopia without bringing of solution of the general impoverishment due to destructions and to underdevelopment.

Order taliban, anchored in a very narrow interpretation of the religious law of the chariat, refers to a global and systematic project getting(touching) the set(group) of the company(society). Talibans denies that compulsory measures are against the women and deprive them of their rights. They assert on the contrary restoring these last ones by a strict application of the chariat and restoring the just report among the people and the women. His(her) founders assert working in favour of the honor of the women, their rights and their dignity.

Which are these rights? Which are the foundations of the feminine condition according to Mullah Omar, the commander of the believers of Islamic Émirat of Afghanistan? The doctrine implies first of all a certain conception of the feminine nature which bases the differentiation of tasks and responsibilities. According to Mullah Omar: " Almighty God conceived the man and the woman(wife) differently so that they fill(perform) different functions(offices) on this earth(ground). A proverb says that domestic work is the task of the women whereas outside world belongs to the warriors ".
