Women workers must cover up 'even with a blanket', say Afghan Taliban February 22, 2022 at 12:22AM

Women working in Afghan government departments must cover up - even with a blanket if necessary - or they may lose their jobs, the Taliban's religious police said Tuesday. Most women have been barred from their government jobs, since the Taliban retook power in August, though Afghanistan's new rulers claim they will be allowed to return once some conditions are in place.
