Afghan women hold street protest demanding Equal rights, Taliban watched

​By a Staff reporter: After 20 years, captivity may resume, but some of Afghanistan's most certain women are reluctant to accept it. This time the women of Kabul came out against the Taliban to snatch their equal rights. While sharia law is being enacted and fatwas are being issued in the movement of women, women have taken to the streets with placards in their hands to take away their rights. This is the first time since Afghanistan was captured that there was a protest against the Taliban and it was the women who led it.

The video that went viral on social media shows four women wearing hijab and abais chanting placards in their hands. Taliban forces patrolled in front of them but they were not getting any sway. Another video shows many women taking to the streets demanding equal rights and chanting slogans against the Taliban. Some of them came to talk to the women with weapons in their hands but they did not stop agitating or chanting slogans.
