One tailor, recently deported from Pakistan, said losing his job had left him worried about his children\u2019s future. Another, who has worked in Kandahar\u2019s tailoring market for 12 years, said he was struggling to pay rent and cover his family\u2019s living expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The restriction has also affected women who rely on affordable, custom-made clothing. Some women said they previously paid between 200 and 250 Afghanis to have an outfit sewn, which was cheaper than buying ready-made clothes. They also reported that female tailors are scarce in Kandahar city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest measure adds to concerns about the impact of Taliban restrictions on livelihoods, women\u2019s access to services and everyday economic life in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bareen Media &#8211; The Taliban have closed several tailoring shops operated by men in Kandahar after accusing the tailors of sewing women\u2019s clothing.
