Kabul's womenswear windows will reflect, even more clearly, the tremendous repression suffered by women in Afghanistan.
From now on, stores that have female mannequins will have to display them headless or, at best, with their faces covered.
Traders may use veils, aluminum foil, cloth or plastic bags.
Any element is valid to comply with the latest order of the Taliban regime.
The owners of the shops have had no choice but to comply with the ordinance in order to continue with their establishments open.
The Ministry of Propagation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, as the institution that filed the ordinance is called, continues with its plan to minimize the presence of women on the streets of the country.
In addition to the symbolism of the mannequins, other regulations have been imposed that severely curtail the rights of women in the country.
The previous veto was the rule filed by the Afghan government to deprive all women over the age of 12 of education, who also have the doors of secondary schools and universities closed.
In the first months after the capture of Kabul, the Taliban tried to offer a moderate image to the international community.
The goal was for the world to forget the human rights violations that were committed under his previous period in power.
Since then, that supposed moderation has been increasingly called into question as the fundamentalist regime has progressively deprived Afghans of the few rights they still enjoyed.
What began with the closure of the Ministry for Women and the mandatory use of the burqa has ended up curtailing the most basic female liberties, such as their freedom of movement.
Women cannot access parks or gyms and, except on rare occasions, must be accompanied by a man to be able to go out.
The Taliban regime claims it upholds the rights of women "defined by Islam".
In other words, they prohibit everything that is not explicitly allowed according to their rigorous interpretation of sharia, Islamic law.
