The Taliban has introduced new laws in Kabul imposing stricter restrictions on Afghan women. The regulations, issued last month, prohibit women from speaking out, publicly reciting the Quran, or making eye contact with men outside their immediate family. Women are now required to cover their lower faces in addition to their head coverings. These measures formalize and intensify previous restrictions that were applied inconsistently. Enforcement of these laws has become more rigorous, especially in urban areas where restrictions were previously less strict. Afghan women report a significant increase in enforcement, leading to a more severe impact on their daily lives and freedoms.
