The Taliban urges employed Afghan women to temporarily stay indoors until fighters of the terrorist group are trained in respecting and dealing with women.

“Our security forces are not trained [in] how to deal with women—how to speak to women,” the group’s spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, told reporters at a press briefing on Tuesday, referring to some fighters in the group.
