The Taliban has called on all government employees, including women to return to work, reported Ariana News of Afghanistan.
The report comes as many Afghan nationals have expressed fear over the quality of life of women under Taliban rule. They are apprehensive that women's rights could be torn up after the insurgents took over the Afghanistan capital on Sunday.
An Afghan citizen, who lives in Delhi as quoted by Times Now said, "The life of youth in Afghanistan is always at risk, especially young women. Taliban militants would barge into homes, and they will take away young women forcefully. This has been happening for the last several years but the government kept silent."
He also claimed that hundreds of women who fled their villages to escape the war and had taken shelter at Shahr-e-Naw Park in Afghanistan capital Kabul, have gone missing.
"I am saying this with whole responsibility that hundreds of women who had sheltered at Shahr-e-Naw Park are missing. Families are searching them for the last several days, but they could not be found. This is the situation of Afghanistan is right now," he told news agency IANS.
Earlier, an image surfaced on social media showing a man painting over an advertisement poster of women models on a beauty salon in Kabul. The photo shows the man using a roller to whitewash large images of women painted outside the beauty salon.
On Monday, US President Joe Biden promised to prioritise the treatment of women and girls under the Taliban after a US withdrawal allowed the return of the Islamist insurgents. "We'll continue to speak out on the basic rights of the Afghan people, of women and girls," Biden said in a national address.
An Afghan MP had also stated that the country will not tolerate women's removal from society.
