Punishment
Women were denied any freedoms during the Taliban. Taliban forces and other forces now grouped in the United Front have sexually assaulted, abducted and forcibly married women. The Taliban have also tried to erase women from public life through widespread discrimination. The Taliban punished women with public beatings.
