Taliban Takeover: Kabul Removes Images of Women From Storefront Displays

On August 15th, 2021, Afghanistan's capital fell to the Taliban. As Taliban control looms over Kabul, the city removes the symbols of their freedom. Western influences, the symbols of women's empowerment, were the first to go. Photographs of workers covering the faces of women in front of salons and beauty parlors began circulating on social media. Other photos show women tearing down wall-sized pictures of women with their hair uncovered, a bold symbol of empowerment that defies Islamic laws. The Taliban is doing its best to convince Afghans, especially the more liberal and educated generation who grew up bathing in the urban freedom that was protected by foreign countries, that they've changed. Meanwhile, the Taliban claims that the rights of women will be respected, as long as it is within the confines of Islamic law.
