Why Afghan women cover their heads

An international event occurred on the day of August 15, 2021, the Afghan Taliban militants entered the Afghan capital Kabul and occupied the presidential palace, and then declared control of the Afghan state. This also makes Afghanistan become a country that many people pay attention to, at the same time I believe that everyone in the attention of this country can also find a scene, that is, a lot of Afghan women will be masked, this in the end why is the reason? This is actually from a tradition excessive to the mandatory measures finally retained the custom.

Many people's eyes in fact for the Middle East, Afghanistan, the impression of these areas should be able to use the word conservative, but can not be fully summarized, the last century 50s and 60s, Afghanistan and Iran and other countries are still quite open, women can go to school normally, but also in the public **** place to wear short skirts, make-up and so on, the famous novel "The Kite Runner" is not known. The Kite Runner" I do not know if you have seen, have not seen can now go to cram, haha, in fact, in which we can see the kind of situation in Afghanistan, but several wars, the Middle East has become more and more conservative, to the 21st century, this trend is more obvious, do you know what happened, why Afghan women are becoming more and more conservative? Follow me down the line.

You can take a look at the local Afghan videos on the Internet, and surely you can see that Afghan women are basically wearing a kind of clothing, and do any of you know what kind of clothing it is? Yes,that kind of clothing is called polka, can be said to be the traditional dress of Afghanistan, according to relevant records almost a hundred years of history, it is said to be one of the world's most conservative women's clothing, that in Afghanistan when you need to wear it,local women in the age of 16 years old, 17 years of age, if you go out, you need to wear this kind of clothing, this kind of clothing modeling is actually a very good idea, but it's not the only thing that we can do. This kind of clothing is actually very simple, is a robe, the female from head to toe are covered, face naturally also be covered, some people have questions, eye also want to cover? Of course not, that also how to walk, the eyes are mesh, but we think about it from another angle, that kind of mesh like prison bars.

However, this kind of masking is also divided into levels, rich people's women, mainly black clothing, and those countries in Dubai, similar to the Pashtuns or the bottom of the people, you can only wear chemical fiber material polka, clothes are also elastic, but wearing really uncomfortable, not breathable, polka is the ancient royal princess of the hoodie, the bottom of the people and have always worn this kind of clothing, like I have above, I have always been a little more than just the face of the people, I can't believe it. Wear this kind of clothing, as I said above, the 1950s and 1960s in Afghanistan, the degree of openness is higher than some European and American countries, women can wear skirts can also show thighs, very fashionable, but also can dance and make-up, to the 70s, the clothing gradually become conservative, but still can show their faces, make-up is also possible, and then to the 90s, they were forced to change to a smock, and then look at you know What's going on.

The Soviet Union staged a number of coups in Afghanistan from 1973 to 1979, although the reasoning seems to be very reasonable, saying what "support for the proletariat brothers", but in the final analysis, it is still due to the fact that Afghanistan does not want to be subjected to the mercy of the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union is more unlikely to be able to quickly occupy Afghanistan, and Afghanistan can only be with the Soviet Union. Afghanistan, Afghanistan and the Soviet Union can only stalemate, resulting in the situation more and more chaotic, in 1989, Gorbachev decided to take the policy of relaxation of strategy, the Soviet Union troops from Afghanistan, with the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

This seems to be a good thing for Afghanistan, but not what we think, did not bring any benefits, after the events of 9/11 in 2001, the United States sent troops to Afghanistan to overthrow the Taliban regime, but the United States basically do not care about Afghanistan, not to mention other measures of governance, and not only that, but also from time to time and some of the local armed forces clashes, the people of Afghanistan have to suffer ah, always! In the war zone in Afghanistan, medical equipment is naturally very important, but at that time the equipment can only cover 40% of the population, even if living in the city, only 20% of the people have clean water, we want to think about it to know how miserable.

In fact, the phenomenon of face masking in Afghanistan, mostly because of the Taliban, which is an ultra-conservative regime, they explicitly wear the "polka" dress, women must use this dress to wrap themselves up, walking on the street can not let the mask slip, if the wind, must be pressed. If the wind picks up, the skirt must be pressed down, because according to the Taliban's rules at the time, showing more than an inch of ankle was considered bad behavior, which could lead to contempt and possibly a prison sentence.

In the face of such harsh regulations who still dare not wear robes do not cover the face, and then the Taliban regime was overthrown, Afghanistan also in the international community's interference in the establishment of their own regime, but overall the situation is still very chaotic, the local majority of women are still scared every day, the previous custom was retained.

Afghan women belong to the Middle East race, I do not know if you have paid attention to the Afghan women's face, in fact, their face value can be, and is not the kind of net face, some look really comfortable, but also very in line with the aesthetics of our Chinese people, but it is a pity that such a long period of time by the robes of the beauty of the cover, in the words of the Afghan men, that is: "return to my private, others are forbidden to reward".

It is still hoped that the Taliban regime, which is in power for the second time, will not risk universal condemnation, and must lead the Afghan people to a happy and fulfilling life.
