The Taliban perpetrated egregious acts of violence against women, including rape, abduction, and forced marriage….The Taliban also required that windows of houses be painted over to prevent outsiders from possibly seeing….In urban areas, the Taliban brutally enforced a dress code that required women to be covered under a burqa…Makeup and nail polish were prohibited. White socks were also prohibited, as were shoes that make noise as it had been deemed that women should walk silently….One woman who was caught with an unrelated man in the street was publicly flogged with 100 lashes, in a stadium full of people. She was lucky. If she had been married, and found with an unrelated male, the punishment would have been death by stoning. – Report on the Taliban’s War Against Women.
