Ban on contraceptives in Afghanistan: Taliban said- this is a conspiracy to stop the Muslim population; Cleaning up afterwards – no ban on contraceptives!

 

The Taliban in power in Afghanistan have banned the sale of contraceptives. According to terrorist organizations, it is a conspiracy of western countries to stop the growing population of Muslims. Western countries do not want the Muslim population to increase.

According to British newspaper 'The Guardian', Taliban terrorists are going door to door threatening women not to use these contraceptives to prevent pregnancy. Medical stores are also being searched so that the sale of these contraceptives can be stopped.

On the other hand, the Taliban have called the ban on contraceptives wrong. Talking to Saudi newspaper 'The National', the Taliban Health Ministry said – Regular inspection of medical stores is done. The reports of the British media are wrong. We did not ban the sale of contraceptives.

Threats to owners of medical stores

Apart from 'The Guardian', 'The Daily Mail Online' has also released a report on this new act of Taliban. The owner of a medical store said – At present, the sale and use of contraceptives has been banned in two cities. The Taliban came to my store and threatened me at gunpoint. He said- Do not keep contraceptive pills or other items in the store. In Kabul, every medical store is being checked.

One woman said – If other women are instigated to promote the use of contraceptives, the result will not be good. This is a conspiracy of the western world, they do not want our population to increase. Notices have been put up in Kabul and Mazar-i-Sharif that no medical shop should stock contraceptives. These include contraceptive pills and injections like Depo Provera.

The terrorist organization that captured the Afghanistan government on 15 August 2021 has imposed many restrictions on women. He was barred from pursuing higher education. Women's higher schools, colleges and universities have already been closed. There is also a ban on their job and leaving the house alone. Now the use of contraceptives has also been banned.

the risk of death will increase

According to the report, the health care system in Afghanistan is only in name. Here one out of 14 women dies due to pregnancy related issues. Afghanistan ranks first among the countries in the world where giving birth to a child is considered the most dangerous for a woman.

The special thing is that the Taliban has not officially issued any statement regarding the ban on contraceptives. When he was questioned on this, no answer came from there. When the Taliban terrorists present in the streets of Kabul were questioned about this, they said – Contraceptives are a conspiracy of the West. We will not let it succeed.

Zainab, 17, got married two years ago. She is scared of this ban. They already have an 18-month-old daughter. She says- I had to leave the school myself. Even the daughter will not be able to study. The last hope has also been shattered. We are suffocating here. Young woman Shabnam said - they had already snatched everything. Now even human rights are being snatched away.

What did the Taliban leader say?

Talking to 'The Guardian', Taliban leader Ustad Faridoon, who lives in Kandahar, said – Contraceptives are sometimes necessary for women's health. It has also been said in Sharia that they can be used if there is a threat to the life of the woman. That's why it is not right to ban these contraceptives completely.

The Taliban implemented a gender segregation plan last month in Afghanistan's western Herat province. Under this, men are not allowed to eat with family members in the family restaurant. Apart from this, men and women are also not allowed to go to the park together. This rule has also been applied to husband and wife.
