Ο θεοκρατικός ολοκληρωτισμός που αγαπούν οι ντόπιοι… προοδευτικοί.
[στον τελευταίο σεισμό που έγινε στο Αφγανιστάν, χιλιάδες Αφγανές γυναίκες θάφτηκαν ζωντανές στα σπίτια τους γιατί φοβήθηκαν να βγουν έξω χωρίς τα χιτζάμπ τους. Οι διασώστες ήταν απρόθυμοι να βοηθήσουν τις γυναίκες και δεν τις έβγαλαν από τα ερείπια αφού υπάρχει οδηγία των Ταλιμπάν που απαγορεύει σε γυναίκες και άνδρες που δεν γνωρίζονται μεταξύ τους να αναμειγνύονται.]

Afghan women were buried alive in earthquake because they were afraid to leave home without a hijab on and rescue workers would not break Taliban rules on ‘mixing’ with females

• Strict Taliban rules led to a higher female death toll in the Afghanistan quakes
• The 6.3-magnitude quake on October 7 was followed by several smaller quakes
• The UN has previously said that the country’s strict rules are harming women

Afghan women were buried alive in their homes after an 6.3 magnitude earthquake as they were afraid of going outside without their hijabs, it has emerged.

Rescue efforts following the October 7 earthquake, which hit western Afghanistan and killed more than 2,000, were also hindered by a Taliban directive that forbids women and men who do not know each other from mixing.

An anonymous female rescue worker told the Telegraph the arbitrary rules meant male rescuers were reluctant to help women, leading to a higher death toll among women.

UN relief agencies said 90 per cent of the victims in one large city, Herat, were women and children.

‘Most of the patients were women and children because they were at home when the earthquake hit,’ Dr Qasem Sadat, a health official in the region, said.

One UN representative claimed that had the earthquake hit Afghanistan during the night, the gender imbalance would have been much less pronounced, as men would have been at home instead of at work.

Women have been increasingly confined to their homes because the Taliban has been tightening its rules on what women can and can’t do over the past two years.

The UN revealed several women affected by the earthquake were unable to access aid without the national identity card of a male relative.

Cultural norms have made it impossible for women to share tents with their neighbours or other family, the UN said.

‘When natural disasters strike, women and girls are impacted most and often considered least in crisis response and recovery,’ Alison Davidian, the UN special representative for women in Afghanistan, said in a message to the Associated Press at the time of the quake.
