Situation Report
"A man should feel safe as he walks down the street, not agonizing that a woman could be around any corner."
KABUL — The Taliban has opened an official probe into allegations that women are being treated fairly within one of its Tax Collection units. The investigation was initiated with a plea to the International Criminal Court to examine "crimes against our humanity.”
According to a report filed by the Department of Taliban Internal Affairs Investigation and Oversight Agency For Inequality of Equality, the investigation began after a Data Analyst within the Taliban Revenue Service filed an HR complaint alleging a woman asked him for the time. The report includes allegations of opinions, conversations, and friendships within the TRS.
Taliban 15-6 Investigators have been tasked with identifying the extent of the equality and gathering evidence against those found responsible. The evidence will eventually be presented to the Supreme Court of Afghanistan, which handles all equality cases within the country.
