I keep hearing in the news the laws created by the Taliban and how cruel they are to women.  I decided to put together a list to consolidate and prove that this group is barbarick and stone age. Anyone who supports these laws and rules need to be educated and modernized into this century.  I feel it is sad that people think this way about anyone. 

 Here is a list of rules the Taliban have for women:

• Women should not appear in the streets without a blood relative or without wearing a Burqa
• Women should not wear high-heeled shoes as no man should hear a woman’s footsteps lest it excite him.
• Women must not speak loudly in public as no stranger should hear a woman’s voice
• All ground and first floor residential windows should be painted over or screened to prevent women being visible from the street.  A Taliban representative explained that “the face of a woman is a source of corruption for men who are not related to them”.
• The photographing or filming of women was banned as was displaying pictures of females in newspapers, books, shops or the home.
• The modification of any place names that included the word “women.” For example, “women’s garden” was renamed “spring garden”.
• Women were forbidden to appear on the balconies of their apartments or houses.
