The Taliban has ordered young boys to return to school, but no such order has been issued for girls. This has sparked fears that the Taliban would revert to their old tactics of restricting women and depriving them of their basic human rights. Ever since the new regime has taken over, women and girls have taken to the streets to protest the country's gender inequality. Local Afghan girls took to the streets lately, chanting "Free Afghanistan" and "I want to go to school," in protest of the Taliban's decision not to allow girls to return to school.

The Taliban implemented harsh prohibitions based on their restrictive interpretation of Shariah, prohibiting the viewing of television, listening to music, taking photographs, and playing with children's toys.
