#DoNotTouchMyClothes

AFGHAN youth rights activist Wazhma Sayle, not pictured, says she was shocked to see a photograph online, apparently of women dressed in black allenveloping niqabs and gowns, staging a demonstration in support of the country’s new Taliban rulers at Kabul University.

Sayle, who is based in Sweden, posted a photograph of herself on Twitter dressed in a bright green and silver dress captioned: “This is Afghan culture & how we dress! Anything less then this does not represent Afghan women!”

Other Afghan women overseas also posted pictures in support of the #DoNotTouchMyClothes defying the Taliban’s demand to cover up. |
