The United Nations Mission in Afghanistan has condemned the Taliban’s ban on beauty parlors and called the move a new crackdown on women’s rights, calling on the Taliban to immediately reverse the decision.

The UN mission says the closure of women’s beauty parlors is a crackdown on women’s entrepreneurship and job opportunities.

This new ban on women’s rights will have a negative impact on the economy, the Afghan Department of Ethics yesterday imposed a ban on beauty parlors and revoked the licenses of parlors in Kabul.
