Here's what you should know about women's rights under Taliban

  •  Taliban has pledged to honour women's rights and not exact revenge, but within the norms of Islamic law.
  • The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is ready to provide women with environment that lets them work and study.
  • Women can seek education from primary to higher education. It means that they can get enrolled in universities also.
  • He also said women will be allowed to work in different (government) structures according to Islamic law. "This will also be in accordance with our cultural values,” he said.
  • Women will also be allowed to leave homes alone and they will have access to education and work provided they wear the hijab.
  •  Wearing a burqa is not mandatory for women under Taliban's rule. However, hijab is mandatory.
  • . Enamullah Samangani, a member of the Taliban's cultural commission, described women as the main victims of the more than 40 years of crisis in Afghanistan and doesn't want them to stay victims now, as per sources.

Women in Afghanistan, however, are unsure of their future in the country and many are  protesting against the Taliban in Kabul. In a video shared by journalist Masih Alinejad, women can be seen demanding their right to education, to work and political participation. They are still haunted by Taliban's rule from 1996 to 2001 when they used to kill women for merely not covering their faces. They were not permitted to attend schools, work or even venture out of their houses without a male companion accompanying them. Read more about this here.
