Multiply Marginalized Women and Ethnic Minorities Bear the Brunt of Taliban Morality Law, Report Finds

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN – Women with multiple marginalized identities and ethnic minorities in Afghanistan are bearing the brunt of the Taliban’s so-called “Law on the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice,” a new report finds.

The report, titled “The Morality Police Are Everywhere,” was recently released by Farageer, a Canada-based non-profit organization. It highlights inconsistencies in the enforcement of the Taliban’s law, which was enacted in August last year.
