Afghan girls get taekwondo training at a location in Kabul, Afghanistan, 20 January 2022 (issued 25 January 2022). The Taliban's ban on female sports has forced a group of Afghan women from the national taekwondo team to go underground.The situation has not weakened the morale of the team members as they are accustomed to going against the tide in a conservative Afghan society that seeks to relegate them to the home. Bashir Ahmad Rustamzai, the country's new sports minister, has said the Taliban would permit 400 sports, but he wouldn't specify whether women could participate in any of them.
