Taliban replaces women’s affairs ministry with “propagation of virtue”

Afghanistan’s new Taliban government set up a ministry for the “propagation of virtue and the prevention of vice” in the building that once housed the Women’s Affairs Ministry.

In Kabul, a new sign was up outside the women’s affairs ministry, announcing it was now the “Ministry for Preaching and Guidance and the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice,” according to the Afghan Khaama Press Agency.

Meanwhile, workers in the ministry gathered, demanding that they return to work in order to “feed their families”.

The Taliban-run education ministry asked boys from grades six to 12 back to school, starting on Saturday, along with their male teachers.
