A woman who went out without wearing a burqa was shot to death on the day the Taliban, which has taken over Afghanistan, announced at a press conference that it would also respect women’s rights.

The Taliban continue to emphasize a different image of moderation than before, but Afghans are skeptical.

Women’s fears are also growing.

Fox News reported that a woman in Tahar, Afghanistan, was shot and killed by militants while going out without a burqa on the 17th local time.

The photo was also posted, and if you look at the photo, a woman in a navy blue dress is bleeding and collapsed, and her parents are holding her.

It happened the day the Taliban announced that it would respect women’s rights as much as possible.

It’s hard to find women coming and going on the streets.

Afghans are skeptical of the Taliban’s insistence on moderate governance and women’s employment and education.

In the past, the Taliban banned women from social activities and education, and women without a male guardian, and forced them to wear a burqa.

If they did, they were publicly whipped.

Malala Yousafzai, the youngest Nobel laureate to survive after being hit in the head by a Taliban bullet at the age of 17 for claiming women’s right to education, was very concerned about the safety and life of Afghan women.

There are already reports of the expulsion of female students and the dismissal of female workers.

Hours after the Taliban showed her interview with a female anchor, Kadija Amin, a female anchor on state TV, revealed that the Taliban had suspended herself and her female employees indefinitely.

Recently, the Taliban sent nine female employees home from a bank and blocked female students from entering a university in western Herat.

Meanwhile, the Taliban said that wearing a hijab that covers a woman’s head is in accordance with the Islamic scriptures of the Qur’an and does not have to be a burqa.
