The Taliban on Saturday ordered Afghan women to cover their faces in public and to avoid leaving their homes, in the latest restrictions they have imposed on women since taking power last year.
The decree, issued by the Taliban’s Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, addresses how women should appear in public, saying they must observe “proper hijab,” an Islamic concept of modesty that applies to women’s clothing, whenever they are in public environments.
