In Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, fathers like Amir are caught in a dilemma where they must uphold oppressive gender restrictions on their daughters to safeguard them from potential Taliban violence. Once filled with hopes for the future, Amir's daughters now live cloistered lives dictated by strict morality laws that force them to cover completely and restrict their movements. Fearing repercussions from the Taliban's morality police, fathers feel compelled to enforce the rules that violate their values but are seen as necessary for family honor and safety.
To be a father of daughters in the Taliban's Afghanistan has become a daily nightmare for Amir, who feels compelled to inflict a system of gender apartheid on his family.
Last summer, three years after they swept to power, the Taliban unveiled an extensive set of vice and virtue laws aimed at erasing women from public life.
