Taliban orders closure of Afghan beauty salons in latest restriction against women

Afghanistan’s Taliban administration ordered beauty salons to close within a month on Tuesday, according to its morality ministry.

Since 2001, female-only beauty salons have remained important institutions for Afghan women, helping to keep many of them employed, while offering a private place for women to go.

The order is the latest shrinking of access to public places for Afghan women, following 2021’s closure of almost all girls’ high schools and the banning of women from university.

On top of that, many public places such as gyms, parks and bathhouses are off-limits to women.

United Nations officials and international leaders have condemned the increasingly strict rules and restrictions against Afghan women since the Taliban returned to power in 2021.
