In Afghanistan, the Taliban has stopped issuing driver’s licences to women
According to Afghan media reports, the Taliban regime in Afghanistan has stopped issuing driving licences to women and other provinces of the landlocked country.
Women could be seen driving in some of Afghanistan’s major cities, including Kabul, before the Taliban took control. This restriction has now been imposed by the regime.
Since the Taliban retook power in Afghanistan last year, the country’s human rights situation has deteriorated. Women’s rights have been snatched away by the new government, with reports ranging from banning girls from schools above sixth grade to not allowing women to travel alone.
Since capturing Afghanistan, the Taliban has imposed a number of restrictions on women.
On March 23, the Taliban regime closed secondary schools for girls across the country, just hours after reopening them for the first time since the new regime took power. The Taliban allowed some schools for girls up to class 6 to reopen just a month after taking power in 2021. The United Nations reacted angrily to the move. “Security Council members reaffirmed the right to education for all Afghans, including girls, and called on the Taliban to respect the right to education and honour their commitments to reopen schools for all female students without further delay,” the UN Security Council said. The Taliban’s Ministry of Education (MoE) has stated that the Islamic Emirate is close to reaching an agreement to reopen the school.
The Taliban administration barred women from working in government offices, banks, media companies, and other workplaces just a month after taking power. Waheedullah Hashimi, a Taliban high-ranking official, stated that the regime will fully implement sharia law, but that women should not work alongside men.
In December of last year, the Taliban issued a decree stating that women who wish to travel longer distances must be escorted by a close male relative. In addition, the regime demanded that vehicle owners only provide rides to women who wore hijabs.

Jennifer Lopez ‘let go of her’ high-heeled ego while working with Ben Affleck
As Jennifer Lopez navigates her separation from Ben Affleck, she prioritizes her career, notably in the film Unstoppable.
Jennifer Lopez has “let go of her ego” to prioritise her career and personal growth as she navigates her separation from Ben Affleck.
The 55-year-old actress and singer, during an interview with Amazon/MGM, opened up about working on the upcoming film Unstoppable, a project she co-starred in while estranged from her husband.
“It was an honour to be a part of Anthony [Robles] and to play Judy,” Jennifer shared. “I approached the role with a complete lack of ego where you have to go in there and have so much respect for the person you are playing because it’s her story.”
“I disappeared, there was no Jennifer, no J. Lo. That person on the screen is just Judy. Luckily, I got to spend time with her and see who she was alone and as a mother.”

Affleck praises Lopez’s ‘spectacular’ performance
Affleck and Matt Damon produced the film, which tells the inspiring story of 36-year-old wrestler Anthony Robles.
JLo portrays Judy Robles, Anthony’s mother. Affleck also highly praised Jennifer’s performance, calling her “spectacular.”
“Unstoppable is a very different movie than [Small Things Like These], but in a way it’s similarly rooted in the passion of really talented artists,” Ben told Entertainment Toninght just couple of weeks back. “Billy Goldenberg and Jennifer and Don Cheadle and Jharrel and Bobby Cannavale – all of whom were really passionate about this film.”
After reuniting and marrying in 2022, Jennifer filed for divorce in August 2024. Reports of marital struggles, including living separately, surfaced months before the filing.
“He’s focusing on his work and his kids now,” an insider told InTouch Weekly. “Ben already moved out … They’ll never stop loving each other, but she can’t control him, and he can’t change her.”

Jennifer told Interview Magazine, “I was thinking about this time in my life, and I’m like, ‘That’s not what I thought it was going to turn out like.’ And then I thought, ‘No, this is exactly where I needed to be.’”
