Hibatullah Akhundzada, the Taliban’s supreme leader, said in a statement that “Afghan women should wear the traditional headscarf (burqa from head to toe). Because that’s what they deserve. ‘
The Taliban’s top leader has even instructed Afghan women to cover their faces when they come in front of male relatives. However, he has given exemption to older women and infants in this case. At the same time, Akhundzada’s ‘advice’, ‘If there is no important work outside, it is better for women to stay at home.

There is another kind of hijab besides that. ” But the top leader of the organization explained that they will follow the path of the past in the burqa debate.

Women have also been excluded from government jobs. Last week, the Taliban government in several provinces, including Herat, banned women from driving.
