Afghanistan’s supreme leader and Taliban chief on Saturday ordered the country’s girls to wear the all-covering burqa in public - one of the harshest controls imposed on women’s lives since the Taliban seized power.
“They need to wear a chadori (head-to-toe burqa) as it is traditional and respectful,” stated a decree issued by Hibatullah Akhundzada that was launched by Taliban authorities at a function in Kabul.
“Those girls who should not too outdated or young should cover their face, except the eyes, as per sharia directives, with a view to keep away from provocation when meeting males who should not mahram (grownup close male kin),” the decree said.
It added that if women had no important work outside it was “better they stay at home.”
During their first regime between 1996 and 2001, the Taliban imposed similar restrictions on women.
