Afghan women have also been ordered not to speak loudly inside their homes to prevent their voices from being heard outside.

“The international community’s engagement with the Taliban has emboldened them to further suppress women,” Zainab, a former civil ********, told The Telegraph from the capital Kabul.

“These are ******** individuals in power who refuse to acknowledge our existence,” she added.

The new rules have sparked an outrage among Afghan women who have already been banned from working with aid agencies, entering parks, restricted travel without a male guardian and numerous other freedoms.

****** over the age of 12 have also been excluded from education since the Taliban’s return to power.

’A massive cage called Afghanistan’

Zainab, who was one of many women who lost their jobs after the Taliban resumed control of the country in 2021, said: “They’ve essentially created a massive cage for us called Afghanistan. I’m very concerned about what ***** ahead.”

She added: “They’ve threatened to prosecute women without hijabs but they haven’t clarified what type of hijab they consider acceptable.

“They’re arresting women on the streets and pulling them out of taxis if they’re not accompanied by a male guardian.”

It said the ministry’s role was expanding into other areas of public life, including media monitoring and eradicating ***** addiction.

“They’re dragging us back to the stone age,” said Zainab. “Society is no longer normal.”
