Colorful dresses protest Taliban's burqa policy in a unique way

Taliban women wrote, 'This is our Afghan culture. The traditional clothes of our country are colorful and beautiful.' Burqas are not required to cover the body, simple traditional clothes are enough.

Afghan women have shown the Taliban that they are not wearing burqas. But this time in a different way. They dressed up in traditional Afghan attire and posed for the camera. They then took pictures of themselves and posted them online. In the caption of the picture, they wrote a warning message to the Taliban, "Don't touch my clothes."

The new Taliban government in Afghanistan had announced 24 hours ago that women would be able to work only if they wore a burqa in accordance with Sharia law. This post and hashtag are a protest against it. This innovative protest is also being discussed in international circles. Since Sunday night, pictures of Afghan women in traditional clothing from Afghanistan and other parts of the world have been circulating online. In all those pictures, Afghan women are seen wearing a veil. The sleeves of the dress also cover their wrists. The clothes are colorful. Some have loosely worn the colorful headscarves they carry with them on their heads. Some have left them on top of the clothes to one side. The Afghan women took pictures in the traditional clothing without covering their faces. Instead of gray or black burqas, they have chosen colors.
