The demonstration follows the shutdown of a similar protest over the weekend and the threat of violent retaliation against the woman, who’ve made clear to the militant ruling group that they are ready to fight against subjugation.
The weekend protest, which eventually included hundreds of men, dispersed when the shots rang throughout the crowd.
The Taliban, which is planning to announce a new government, has said it want the structure of its rule to be inclusive. Women, they say, will retain at least some of the rights they were denied last time the Taliban was in charge, and members of the Afghan army will be integrated into the nation’s new security forces. The group is planning to share more details during a press conference on Tuesday afternoon.
The group has not yet codified any laws, or shared any specifics on how it plans to rule. However, it is seeking a more moderate look, inviting women to join the government and clarifying that they will be allowed to work and allowing girls to receive an education. Meanwhile, women around the country have also been instructed to stay home as the Taliban teach their men on the ground to refrain from hurting them.
Those marching Tuesday morning carried a banner that read, “Freedom.”
“We are not defending out right for a job or a position we will work in, we are defending the blood of our youth, we are defending our country, our land,” said one of the protestors via social media post.
Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
