Under the Taliban's control, there were several things banned, particularly for women and girls. Here are three examples of things banned by the Taliban:
Girls' education: The Taliban banned girls from attending school, and they shut down schools that taught girls.
Women's work: The Taliban banned women from working outside the home or holding public office, effectively preventing them from participating in many aspects of society.
Music and entertainment: The Taliban banned music, movies, and other forms of entertainment, calling them "un-Islamic." They also enforced strict dress codes, requiring women to wear burqas in public.
