The Afghan women’s refugee football team is set to participate in an international competition next month for the first time since the Taliban takeover.

Save the Children has warned that at least 11,000 pregnant women in the earthquake-affected areas of eastern Afghanistan are living in tents and difficult conditions and may have to give birth in these temporary shelters.

The Afghanistan Media Support Organization (AMSO), in a statement, has called the Taliban’s recent decision in Herat to ban the publication of images of living beings a “clear violation of freedom of expression and people’s access to information” and has warned of its consequences.

In a new and controversial move, the Taliban’s Department of Vice and Virtue in Herat province issued an official order on Monday (September 23) during a meeting with local media officials, prohibiting the publication of images of living beings.
