In a press conference, the Taliban promised that women's rights will be granted as long as they are within Islamic limits. And not long after, the extremist group began to erase their appearances on the streets. Considered haram, various photos show posters of female models in the salon being scribbled on.

The Taliban themselves are back in power in Afghanistan. This made the women there feel scared. Because in the previous regime, the Taliban did not allow women and girls to live freely, they were asked to wear the burqq, ​​they were not allowed to work or go to school and even leave the house without a male companion.

In his statement, the Taliban spokesman said he would guarantee that women's rights are respected while still within Islamic limits. It seems that this includes not showing oneself in clothes or appearances that are considered illegal. Because the next day, photos of women on the walls of salons or boutiques are deleted and crossed out.

Various photos show how previously there were many images of women in public. Models are seen wearing beautiful makeup, without veils, or clothes that fully cover their bodies. That doesn't appear to be a problem until the Taliban are back in power.

Seeing this, activists, especially those who defend women's rights, also expressed their concerns. One of them is Masih Alinejad, a woman from Iran who has recently been very active in reporting conditions in Afghanistan after being controlled by the Taliban.

"Yesterday Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid made a statement claiming they respect women's rights. But today the reality is in Kabul: first they delete women's photos then they will remove women from public circles. Iran has endured these lies for 42 years then," he wrote while showing the video on Twitter.
