Zahra Murtazavi, a resident of Kabul, shared an important message, saying, “Women should not be banned from films. It is also the right of women. He went on to say that if there are no women in the films, the film will not look good.
Taliban had imposed restrictions on women
Taliban have barred women and girls from leaving their homes for the past month, with the Taliban saying women and girls should not leave their homes unless absolutely necessary. Even when she goes out, she should cover her whole body and face. However, few were surprised by this decision. Those who saw the Taliban regime from 1996 to 2001 could have already foreseen this.
