Afghan women have taken to social media to protest against the Taliban's latest restrictive laws, which mandate silence and concealment in public. Starting August 27, 2024, these regulations further limit women's freedoms by banning public singing and speech. Women both in Afghanistan and abroad are sharing videos of themselves singing, challenging these oppressive rules. The global movement highlights the harsh realities faced under Taliban rule, including bans on education and public discourse. UN officials and activists, such as Dr. Zahra Haqparast, have condemned the laws and called for international sanctions.
