Three years after the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan a new law has been passed compelling women to cover their face and body completely when leaving their homes. The latest restrictions also state that women’s voices must no longer be heard in public.
They are the latest in a series of draconian restrictions imposed on women by the country’s Taliban rulers.
There’s been international outrage. The US and EU are among those condemning the new laws but they have little influence over Afghanistan’s religious leaders.
Despite the risks some women in Afghanistan have spoken out, giving interviews to BBC News.
Sophie Raworth presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Yogita Limaye inside Afghanistan.

This is absolutely horrifying, inhumane and unacceptable. This is why misogyny (or any discrimination based on factors that people cannot control and factors that do not harm the society around them, such as gender or race) should never be tolerated, when it progresses in the environment to a certain level, the situation of this video is what can happen.
Afghan men should marry their men only sooooo trueeeeee…. misogynistic attitude… there should be no women in Afghanistan….
Idgaf religion is the worst thing human have created! I'm happy to be an atheist!
Well blame the religion lol
This is islam?
Nato country is responsible for afganistan situation and now thay report this news what a story
Taliban took away their right to live….This is the greatest violence done by one human being to another on earth.
They have to leave afganistan neither they have to kill them self😢 that's why I hate this types of religion 😠try to understand praffed mahammad was not a God he is a man
WHERE ARE THE FEMINISTS? Too busy making sure a man can use the women's and girl's washroom and can change naked in the change room you and your daughter use at the pool.
Kam se kam yaha to Kolkata wala rape case nahi ho rha😂😂😂😂😂
Angrez ki jali hai kyuki mackup kisko bechenge
i want Afghanistan's citizenship.
India me v yahi demand krte h kuch log isse acha beti ko janm Mt do but yesi life Mt do
At some point even the men in general public would have to start thinking. “Is this necessary.” They have to right.
Muslim 1984 ahh country
honestly the voice actor's accent is very bad he should work on it
i didn't understand what he was saying
as a Muslim itself they should remove the religion islam from their country
there is no such thing as "women" under Taliban, they are properties
What a backward ass culture. We're all part of the same species, and BOTH sexes are equally necessary. Do these people not realize that life without one or the other will one day cease to exist? This isn't even about religion or culture anymore. This is about fear. The people creating this divide fear losing power, and they will do whatever it takes to have the upperhand.
its they have nothing better to do than pass laws on women
They should ban their women to be pregnant, so that species of men like them won't spread and ceased to exist…
Awesome, subhanallah..the one who understands the temptations around will know how much they need this law around them
Now i'm ashamed to be a muslim
Dear people in the comments,why are you surprised?? This is the tuth of Islam!
After some years, they will be banned to breathe in public
Its extremely sadening to see the people im the comment section trying to prove one or the other religion wrong
This afghan culture has nothing to do with islam. ISLAM DOES NOT OPPRESS WOMEN. It gives them rights to be independent, have businesses and ofc education. Women in islam are supposed to be treated like queens. They have rights over divorce, finances.
Do not try to compare the values of a religion with people who have no idea about the real islam. Real muslims dont claim the talibans and those who manipulate it as per their own convenience.
As for those who keep trying to bring the compulsion of hijab, forcing hijab is haram. And a forced hijab is of no use. And its not just women who are asked to guard their chastisity and lower their gaze, its for the men too just in a different way.
These uneducated and uninformed people only spoil the name of a beautiful religion with half knowledge.
What pitiful afterlife these unjust rulers and atrocious husbands are preparing for themselves. Shameful!

I dont understand which islamic sariyah they are following.. Wearing Burkha, covering face is valid but you are easing their existance from everywhere but why?? Dont they know about hajrat khadija beloved wife of Muhammad(s), she used to be a business women, our prophet used her money to spread islam..in ISLAM women education has given place..they are justing insecure as shit!" even saudia arabia doesnt support this kinda rules!!this government should be banned..
Fruitcakistan
At this point afghan men should be gay towards eachother and expect their level of birth very low asf bc the bad treatment of women who actually gave birth to them from the very first start🦥🦥
Woman in Afghanistan ❌
Woman in islam ✅
And they talk about humanity …
Feels terrible for the Women living there 🙁
What is so wrong to be born as a woman ?? Just because they have a special ability of giving birth?? This is brutal…
