Women Journalists Now have to Cover Their Faces on TV in Afghanistan

Women journalists in Afghanistan will have to cover their faces on television in the future. This was announced by the ruling Taliban, Tolonews reported on Thursday.

 

The measure is final and not open to discussion, the channel added. There is no official announcement.

From now on, only the eyes of female TV journalists should be visible, an Afghan media representative explained to the German news agency DPA. Another explains that women could cover their noses and mouth with a medical mask. Photos of female presenters wearing headscarves and masks circulated on social media on Thursday.

Since returning to power, the Taliban have imposed increasingly strict rules on public life. At the beginning of May, they ordered that women must veil in public. The chadori — a head-to-toe burqa — is the best form of the Islamic veil, they said.

The full-face veil, which in Afghanistan is often blue and has a grid over the field of vision, was already mandatory for women under the Taliban rule until the invasion of Western troops in 2001.
