Kiongozi wa Taliban ameamuru Wanawake Nchini Afghanistan kuvaa "Chador" ambayo hufunika uso na sehemu kubwa ya mwili. Hii ni moja ya amri kali zaidi kutangazwa tangu Taliban ilipochukua Madarala Mwaka 2021
Imeelezwa kuwa, Baba au ndugu wa kiume wa karibu anaweza kufungwa au kufukuzwa kazi Serikalini ikiwa Mwanamke hatojifunika uso akiwa nje ya nyumba
Tangu kuchukua Mamlaka Nchini humo, Taliban imerejesha vikwazo kadhaa vinavyominya Uhuru, huku vikiwa vinawalenga zaidi Wanawake

Afghanistan’s supreme leader has ordered the country’s women to cover their faces in public – one of the harshest restrictions imposed on them since the Taliban seized power last year and an escalation of growing restrictions on women that is drawing a backlash from the international community and many Afghans.
“They should wear a chadori (head-to-toe burqa) as it is traditional and respectful,” said a decree issued by Taliban chief Haibatullah Akhunzada that was released by authorities at a function in Kabul on Saturday.
A spokesman for the Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice read the decree from Akhunzada at a media conference, saying that a woman’s father or closest male relative would be visited and eventually imprisoned or fired from government jobs if she did not cover her face outside the home.
The spokesman added that the ideal face covering is the burqa, which became a global symbol of the Taliban’s previous hardline rule from 1996 until 2001. Most women in Afghanistan wear a headscarf, but many in urban areas, such as Kabul, do not cover their faces.
Speaking to Al Jazeera, Fawzia Koofi, former Afghanistan parliament deputy speaker, said the Taliban’s decrees regarding women can only be regarded as “oppression and repression”.
“The question is, in the middle of all this suffering for Afghan people, why is the issue of women the only one taking priority,” asked Koofi, while referring to the deepening economic crisis across the country.
“The biggest challenge women face every day is the lack of jobs and economic crisis,” she said.
Since taking over Afghanistan, the Taliban have reintroduced draconian restrictions on freedoms and movements, particularly directed at women, that are reminiscent of their last rule in the 1990s.
