The rules the Taliban enforce is that women have to wear burqas and that girls over the age of eight have to wear chadors.

Prior to the Taliban rule, the majority of Afghan women actually were educated and made up 50% of civilian government workers, 70% of schoolteachers and 40% of doctors in the capital, Kabul. During the Taliban rule, however, women's education was outlawed and many women found running "underground schools" were severely punished. Now, after the overthrow of the Taliban, women are able to be educated again under their new constitution -accepted in 2004- which gave men and women equal rights under the law.
