Answer:

While in power in Afghanistan, the Taliban became notorious internationally for their sexism and violence against women. Their stated motive was to create a "secure environment where the chastity and dignity of women may once again be sacrosanct¨ reportedly based on Pashtunwali beliefs about living in purdah. Also Women should not appear in the streets without a blood relative and without wearing a burqa

Women should not wear high-heeled shoes as no man should hear a woman's footsteps lest it excite him

Women must not speak loudly in public as no stranger should hear a woman's voice

All ground and first-floor residential windows should be painted over or screened to prevent women from being visible from the street

Photographing or filming of women was banned as was displaying pictures of females in newspapers, books, shops or the home

The modification of any place names that included the word "women". For example, "women's garden" was renamed "spring garden".

Women were forbidden to appear on the balconies of their apartments or houses

Ban on women's presence on radio, television or at public gatherings of any kind.
