The Taliban requires Afghan women to cover themselves from head to toe

This is one of the latest restrictions on Afghan women since the force Taliban back in power.

According to a decree issued by the supreme leader of the Taliban, the most appropriate clothing for Afghan women to cover their faces and bodies is a blue Burqa shawl that covers the entire head and shoulders.

The decree, issued by Hibatullah Akhundzada, Afghanistan’s supreme leader and Taliban leader, presented by the Taliban government at a ceremony in Kabul, reads: “They (women) must wear chadori (a robe made of head to toe) as this is tradition and courtesy”.

The scarf was seen as a symbol of the Taliban’s first repressive rule from 1996 to 2001. The decree also states that if women have no reason to go out, they should stay at home.

In March, the Taliban government also made an unexpected change when it decided not to allow girls in high schools to be allowed to return to school. Because of this change, relations between the Afghan government and the international community deteriorated.

On March 27, Afghan aviation officials said that the Taliban government had ordered the country’s airlines not to allow women to board flights unless accompanied by a male relative.

The Taliban’s decision to restrict women’s access comes after all girls’ high schools continue to be closed.

Since coming to power, the Taliban have imposed a series of restrictions on women, including banning women from participating in government work, controlling the clothes they are allowed to wear and banning women from going out of the city alone.
