As the Taliban took over Afghanistan, the trajectory of the country changed overnight, and the lives of Afghanistan women changed dramatically. Namely, the Taliban are enforcing their interpretation of the infamous Sharia law, and they have already announced that women in the country should wear black hijabs.
Well, Afghan women have decided to protest this rule by sharing photos of themselves wearing colorful traditional Afghanistan dresses on social media, and they’ve made it clear that historically, women in Afghanistan didn’t wear all black. They also accused the Taliban of trying to enforce a culture that’s never belonged to the country – and we love the posts!
The women have been using the hashtag #AfghanCulture, #AfghanWomen, and #ThisIsMyCulture, and the posts are truly wholesome. We invite you to check some of them out for yourselves below:
So how do Afghan women dress then? They ask.
This is how. If I was in Afghanistan then I would have the scarf on my head. This is as “conservative” and “traditional” as I/you can get. https://t.co/4fjoSUuJZY pic.twitter.com/VkQLQoBXDy

The black dress code Taliban are imposing on Afghan women is not our culture. This is our traditional attire and culture. It’s colorful and unique. #AfghanWomen #AfghanCulture pic.twitter.com/YLErPn4DAU
