Protest Statement of the Movement of Afghanistan Women in Exile On the Taliban's Restriction Preventing Women Without a Chadori from Entering Hospitals in Herat

The Movement of Afghanistan Women in Exile expresses its deep concern and strong condemnation of the reported decision by the Taliban authorities in Herat to prohibit women from entering hospitals unless they are wearing a chadori. According to credible reports, women are being denied access to healthcare facilities if they are not dressed in a chadori. This measure constitutes a serious violation of women's fundamental rights, including their right to access healthcare, freedom of movement, personal dignity, and equal treatment. Restricting access to essential medical services based on compulsory dress requirements places the health and well-being of countless women at risk.
