In the novel "The Breadwinner" by Deborah Ellis, when Parvana gets home, she has to put on a burqa to disguise herself as a boy.
Parvana's family lives in Afghanistan under the Taliban's oppressive rule, where women are not allowed to be in public spaces without a male guardian.
To help her family survive and to be able to buy food and other necessities, Parvana disguises herself as a boy and takes on the identity of her deceased brother.
This allows her to move freely in the city of Kabul and work as a street vendor to earn money for her family. So, putting on the burqa is a crucial and necessary action for Parvana to maintain her disguise and carry out her responsibilities.
