Women in Kabul

Kabul Afghanistan is a very rough area of upper Asia that is controled by the Taliban. The Taliban enforce a very strict code for all to follow. Women must completley cover themselves and have no right to work outside of the traditional home. Women in this society are restricted to just cooking and cleaning. One Woman named Sara was able to open a clothing business in Kabul. Thsi goes strictly against the rule of the Taliban. These women are starting a revolution in this area for the betterment of Women. These few women are trying to better themselves and the lives of other women. this is a perfect example of the gender roles of Women in this society. The Taliban's codes rule against any free thinking woman and this is a revolutionary act.
