It has more to do with Islamic custom than on the Taliban enforcing it. The Koran speaks of men and women dressing modestly and mentions the head scarf (hijab) as something women should wear. The full body Burqa being a fairly conservative form of that.
Also even though the Taliban are now gone many Warlords in the South of the country still enforce it. Around the capital Kabul they have declined heavily but still religious women wear in particular continue to wear it voluntarily.

How does the taliban effect the people in Afghanistan?
The problem with the Taliban is they hold a very extreme view of Islam, and they try to impose it on everyone, even those who might not share that view. For example, Islam does NOT say women cannot study, nor does it say women cannot go to school. But the Taliban are opposed to women going to school, and have burned down schools and even attacked female students. Further, the Taliban have expressed their opposition to popular music, and do not want any kind of popular culture (including television programs) to be broadcast; they believe only religious studies are permitted. Some Afghans, fed up with corrupt local governments, at first supported the Taliban, because people believed the Taliban would be honest, since they were very religious. But the Taliban proved to be eager to hold on to power, and willing to kill those who opposed them.
Did the Taliban threaten Malala?
Yes , even going as far as shooting Malala Yousafzai in the head in an attempt to murder her because she was advocating the right of all women to an education .
Why does the Taliban hate women?
You can't claim that Taliban hate women. It is the practice and tradition in Afghanistan for woman not to work and not to go for high level education. These local traditions were the same in many countries, even in Europe, some centuries ago. The Afghan people should be allowed enough time to go through the natural cycle of development rather than causing country long suffering of extensive wars.
Why can't a soldier in Afghanistan kill the taliban?
Because the Taliban are funded by the US and British. All the Taliban in Afghanistan are pakistanies. They are there to destroy Afghanistan not to bring peace. Everything that you see on tv about the Taliban are fake. There is no such thing as the Taliban, they are all pakistanies killing innocent Pashtun people. I am not even an afghan but I know what the truth is regarding Afghanistan.
Who are the taliban people from Pakistan?
The Taliban are not a 'people' in the meaning of ethnic group like e.g. the Pashtun. "Taliban" means "students" (of the Quran) and is the plural of the word 'talib', student. Taliban are fundamentalist Muslims who may come from any ethnic group in Pakistan and Afghanistan - or even from outside that area - and who decide to join that organization and pledge allegiance to its leaders.

Why is Islam so violent toward the US?
it is not Islam which is violent towards the USA, although it is the Taliban and they are Muslims. They are called extremists as they take Islam to the extreme. In Islam we are taught to care and be kind to all religions even atheists. The thing which strikes me is that some people think a group of people who are in the same religion fighting ,means the whole religion is with them. Even the Taliban for example! The Taliban have killed more Muslims and Afghans then anyone else!
What was life like for women before the Taliban came to power in Afghanistan?
Better than AFTER the Taliban took power, but even before then, Afghanistan was a pretty miserable place. Go back to 1978 or so, before the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, and you could see Kabul (the capital city) looked prosperous and relatively liberal. Women dressed in European fashions and attended college, and the scenery looked entirely "normal" and European. That was in Kabul; the rural areas hadn't changed all that much for the previous 1500 years.
