Afghan women defy Taliban by singing for their freedom

Afghan women have been uploading videos of themselves singing in defiance of draconian laws imposed by the Taliban which order them to be silent in public.

Women from inside and outside the country have joined in the campaign challenging the Taliban’s new so-called vice and virtue laws, which include bans on women from baring their faces, singing and talking in public.

In one video, a woman in Afghanistan sings with her face and body fully covered.

“You placed the stamp of silence on my mouth until further notice,” she says.
