Taliban Terrorizes Individuals To Discourage Them From Supporting The “Western Scheme To Control The Muslim Population”
Due to a Taliban restriction, two of Afghanistan’s main cities no longer sell contraception. Going door to door, intimidating midwives, and ordering pharmacists to cease dispensing birth control products are among the tactics used by the Taliban. According to the terrorist group that now occupies power in Afghanistan, the use of contraception by women is part of a Western plot to subjugate the Muslim populace.
Residents have corroborated the rumor anonymously, despite the Taliban Ministry of Public Health in Kabul not making any official declarations regarding the ban on contraception.
A shopkeeper in Kabul reported that the Taliban had entered his establishment armed with rifles and threatened to force him to cease selling birth control pills. Every pharmacy in the city is routinely examined, and according to The Guardian, the goods are no longer being sold by retailers.
Birth control pills and Depo-Provera injections are among the pharmaceuticals that cannot be kept at the pharmacy as of the beginning of February. Shop owners are too hesitant to liquidate their current inventory.
An experienced midwife told the media that she was not allowed to advocate for the Western concept of population control. Given that one in every 14 Afghan women dies during pregnancy, the instructions are being given at a time when Afghanistan is one of the most perilous places on earth to give birth.
According to a 2021 Human Rights Watch assessment, even before the Taliban took over the nation, the majority of Afghan women lacked access to the most basic information on maternal health and family planning.
According to the 2021 report, Afghan women frequently have more children than they intend due to a lack of access to modern contraceptives, experience unsafe pregnancies due to inadequate care, and undergo operations that could be performed more safely if they had access to and the ability to use more modern techniques.
About 17% of Afghanistan’s healthcare institutions that received some World Bank funding will be fully functioning by September 2021, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The Taliban government has reportedly detained and arrested women for leaving the house without a male guardian, attacking women’s rights. According to reports, the Taliban’s restrictions have made it harder for women and girls to get medical care.
