In a shocking move, the Taliban have imposed strict new laws that severely restrict women’s lives. They took control of Afghanistan again in 2021. Women are now forbidden from showing their faces or speaking in public. The Taliban says these rules are based on Islamic law. They seek to enforce modesty and prevent “moral corruption.” Critics say these laws violate human rights and harm women’s rights in Afghanistan.
