Veiling

Here in this country, the duty to wear masks is being discussed; the burqa is a worse burden for women in Afghanistan. This is always expected by the male Islamic society from sexual maturity onwards, like here in a small village in Badakhshan.

After the end of the Taliban government in December 2001, the requirement to wear a burka was abolished. Nevertheless, very few women still dare to leave home without a burka. This is mainly out of concern for their personal safety and reputation. | Afghanistan

  1. No one and nothing can change in an instant. Apart from natural disasters, which cause immediate changes in societies, everything else takes time to adapt and change.
    Unfortunately, given the slowness, I believe that gender equality will still take at least another generation to be achieved.
