Taliban Afghanistan: EU condemns Taliban's latest move of barring women from entering parks, gyms
Brussels: The European Union has condemned the additional restrictions imposed by the Taliban on women’s freedom of movement, including the newly announced rules barring women from entering public parks and gyms.

Afghan women and girls remain deprived of secondary education, face restrictions in their travel and movement, and are excluded from most aspects of public and economic life," EU said in a statement.
"The EU calls on the de facto authorities to honour Afghanistan’s obligations under international law, in particular human rights, refugee and humanitarian law, and to ensure respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms of all the Afghan population," read the statement.
The Taliban government of Afghanistan has now restricted women’s access to public parks in the country, an episode showcasing the hardships imposed on women by the regime.
Taliban’s Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue issued the statement and following that women were prevented from entering parks in Kabul.
