Taliban's Interior Minister Sirajuddin Haqqani has pointed out "exclusivity of power" that has barred minority groups and women from gaining employment and education in the country.It came as the minister opined that the Taliban government needed to make major changes if it was to gain international legitimacy.In the past too, Haqqani has urged the top leadership of the Islamic group, including supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada to form an inclusive government featuring other ethnicities and political factions.Despite Haqqani's latest appeal to the Taliban, Kabul has continued to impose harsh restrictions on the participation of women from all walks of life in Afghanistan.Since taking power in the South Asian country, the Taliban have barred them from all forms of education except primary one. Additionally, members of the opposite sex are not allowed to be employed in both the private and the government sectors.Last month, the Islamic Emirate, as Taliban describes its government in Afghanistan, banned women from working in the United Nations office in Kabul, earning widespread condemnation in both Afghanistan and elsewhere in the world.Besides these curbs, females have no access to public parks, gyms, and restaurants. They are also not allowed to venture outside without a male guardian and must always be accompanied by either their father, brother, husband, or son while going out of their homes.* under UN sanctions for terrorism

The Taliban*, which stormed back to power in Afghanistan in August 2021, has defied global calls to form an all-inclusive government, including ethnic minorities and women.
Taliban's Interior Minister Sirajuddin Haqqani has pointed out "exclusivity of power" that has barred minority groups and women from gaining employment and education in the country.
It came as the minister opined that the Taliban government needed to make major changes if it was to gain international legitimacy.
"The system should not be that small and exclusive that only members of religious schools (madrasas) would see them represented," local media quoted Haqqani as saying on Friday. "We should not make the system small and exclusive, but this government belongs to all people."
In the past too, Haqqani has urged the top leadership of the Islamic group, including supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada to form an inclusive government featuring other ethnicities and political factions.
He had underlined the Taliban having a "monopoly of power" in Afghanistan, and even went on to describe the "situation as intolerable" during a public meeting in the Khost province of the war-torn nation.
Despite Haqqani's latest appeal to the Taliban, Kabul has continued to impose harsh restrictions on the participation of women from all walks of life in Afghanistan.
Since taking power in the South Asian country, the Taliban have barred them from all forms of education except primary one. Additionally, members of the opposite sex are not allowed to be employed in both the private and the government sectors.
Last month, the Islamic Emirate, as Taliban describes its government in Afghanistan, banned women from working in the United Nations office in Kabul,
earning widespread condemnation in both Afghanistan and elsewhere in the world.
Besides these curbs, females have no access to public parks, gyms, and restaurants. They are also not allowed to venture outside without a male guardian and must always be accompanied by either their father, brother, husband, or son while going out of their homes.
