United Nations - Taliban Relaxes Efforts To Enforce Strict Dress Code On Afghan Women

A recent report from the United Nations has indicated that the Taliban government in Afghanistan has shown a decrease in their efforts to enforce a strict dress code or hijab on women. 

However, the UNAMA's quarterly report highlights that there are still widespread human rights violations occurring under the Taliban regime. 

According to VOA, the Taliban has implemented a requirement for Afghan women to wear the "sharia hijab" in public, which involves covering their faces completely or only revealing their eyes. 

The responsibility for enforcing this dress code lies with the Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, a department within the Taliban.

Since assuming power in Afghanistan in 2023, the Taliban has been imposing their laws on the citizens, but it appears that there has been a slight reduction in their enforcement of hijabs on Afghan women.
