Taliban Enforces Ban on Women's Voices in Public Spaces in Afghanistan

Afghan women are protesting against the Taliban's laws, which deem women's voices as potential instruments of vice. The 35-article document bans women from singing, reciting poetry or reading aloud in public, and requires them to cover the lower half of their faces in addition to wearing a head covering. The ban also prohibits women from raising their voices, reciting the Quran in public, and looking at men other than their husbands or relatives. Afghan women are pushing back against these restrictions, with some posting videos of themselves singing in protest.
