ممنون از شیر زنان و دختران ایران زمین

Reading "The dressmaker of Khair Khana (Gayle Tzemach Lemmon, 2011, John Murray, Publishers, London)" I came to a page that shocked me most. I remembered how much we owe the brave women and girls of Iran who resisted some of the Taliban-friendly rules.

"... The nine men of the Taliban High Court issued edicts that strengthened the rules of the banishment and regulated ever smaller details of their everyday lives. Walking in the middle of the street was now prohibited, as was wearing high-heeled shoes. Clothing must be baggy and loose fitting "To prevent the seditious limbs from being noticed," and chadri could not be made from any lightweight material through which arms or legs might be seen. Mixing with strangers and going out without a mahram, or male relative, had been outlawed." P.41
