The new 'vice and virtue' law enacted by the Taliban seeks to silence women completely in public, prohibiting their speech, singing, and prayers, while enforcing extreme coverage of their bodies.
The law represents a severe rollback of the rights that were gradually gained by women and girls over the last two decades, including their political and civil liberties.
Generations of Afghan women, who thrived post-2001 as professionals and activists, are now facing unimaginable repression and denial of basic freedoms under the Taliban's renewed regime.
The Taliban's aggressive clampdown includes over 100 decrees undermining women's rights, with over 20 particularly harsh measures like barring girls from attending school after sixth grade.
