Since the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan, women have faced increasingly severe restrictions on their rights and freedoms, exemplified by a new morality law that limits their ability to speak in public and mandates male guardianship. Women are now prohibited from leaving their homes unless deemed 'urgent,' a term subjectively interpreted by Taliban officials, and any form of public expression, including laughter or singing, is banned. Reports detail the oppressive conditions women endure, such as being forced to wear burkas and being subjected to harsh penalties for minor infractions. The recent massacre of Shia pilgrims by ISIS highlights the ongoing dangers for minority groups under Taliban rule, suggesting a rise in extremist violence despite Taliban claims of security. Amid this oppression, some Afghan women are bravely protesting and expressing their desire for freedom through social media, although many fear for their safety. The situation reflects a broader trend of systematic discrimination against women and religious minorities, exacerbated by the Taliban's rigid interpretation of Islamic law.
