A female television anchor even interviewed a Taliban official on camera Tuesday in the channel's studio.
The Taliban are looking to convince the Afghan people that they have changed since their brutal rule in the late 1990s. Under the Taliban's ultra-conservative Islamic rule, women's rights were severely restricted and stonings, amputations and public executions were common.
Many Afghans are wary, but the militant group declared an"amnesty" across Afghanistan and urged women to join their government on Tuesday. "The Islamic Emirate doesn't want women to be victims," said Enamullah Samangani, a member of the Taliban's cultural commission, using the militants' name for Afghanistan."They should be in the government structure according to Shariah law." His remarks came in stark contrast to the Taliban's previous rule, where women were mainly made to stay at home.Clarissa Ward challenged a Taliban commander over the insurgent group's treatment of women.
Ward reported that she had seen fewer women outside in Kabul than usual since the Taliban entered the city and seized power on Sunday. Beheshta Arghand, a female television anchor for Tolo News, interviewed a Taliban official on camera Tuesday in the channel’s studio, asking about the situation in Kabul and the Taliban’s house searches in the capital.
