All women-run beauty salons were forced to close.

Taliban’s Directorate of Preaching & Propagation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a letter to its representatives in provinces and overseas, instructed them to perform daily prayers collectively and to adjust their appearance according to Shariah and the Prophet’s sunnah.

The Taliban abolished the Attorney General’s Office and replaced it with the “Directorate of Supervision and Prosecution of Decrees and Orders,” designed to ensure the implementation of the Taliban’s orders in public and private life.

 In a new order, NGOs must hire Taliban-approved applicants to new positions.
