UN Condemns Taliban's New Laws Silencing Afghan Women

The Taliban's restrictive 'vice and virtue' laws face international backlash for erasing women's rights and freedoms.

The new laws require women to fully cover their bodies and faces in public, silencing them in all public spaces.
Women are prohibited from speaking, singing, or making their voices heard, even within their own homes.
Human rights groups describe the laws as 'gender apartheid,' pushing Afghan women further into invisibility.
International leaders and activists call for immediate repeal, highlighting the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan.
Afghan women defy the laws, posting videos of themselves singing and speaking in protest.
