Afghan women further barred from public life under new laws | The World

New laws in Afghanistan make it mandatory for women to completely veil their bodies, including their faces, at all times when in public. Their voices are also not allowed to be heard in public, and they cannot look directly at men they are not related to by blood or marriage. Sahar Fetrat is an Afghan feminist and women's rights researcher at Human Rights Watch. She says life under the Taliban is "suffocating" for women and has called on the international community to do more to take more action and denounce the restrictions.
