In Afghanistan, the Taliban have said that women who travel medium and long distances will no longer be allowed to travel alone. It will now be mandatory to have a close male relative during the journey with him except for short distance journeys.

On Sunday, Taliban officials said women who want to make long journeys without close male relatives with them would not get transport facilities for the journey.

The Taliban’s Ministry of Virtue and Prevention of Evil has issued necessary instructions in this regard.

Ministry spokesman Sadiq Akif Muhajir told AFP news agency that women who have covered distances of more than 72 kilometers will no longer be allowed to travel without any of their male relatives.
