The Taliban says Afghanistan will not be used as a base for terror activities, and women will be allowed to work.
Concerns has been on the rise over the retrogression of gains made on women rights over the past 20 years since the insurgent group took control of Afghanistan over the weekend.
The Taliban, when it first took over Afghanistan in the 1990s, barred women from working and attending secular schools; women were also restricted to their homes and only allowed to leave in the company of male relatives.
But speaking during a media briefing on Tuesday, Taliban spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid said the group is committed to the rights of women under Islamic law, and that they will be allowed to work and study “within our framework”.
“We are going to allow women to work and study within our frameworks. Women are going to be very active within our society, but within the framework of Islam,” Mujahid said.

“We have pardoned all those who have fought against us. Animosities have come to an end. We don’t want any external or internal enemies.”
“In Afghanistan, I would like to assure our neighbours, our original countries we are not going to allow our territory to be used against anybody or any country in the world. So, the whole global community should be assured that we are committed to these pleasures that you will not be harmed.”
Relatively, the chief of the Taliban’s political office, Mullah Baradar, has arrived in Afghanistan along with other senior persons of the group.
Baradar, a co-founder of the Taliban and one of its most senior leaders, has not stepped into Afghanistan in 20 years.
