The Afghan women who have been bravely standing up to the cover-head-to-toe diktat of the Taliban have taken the internet by storm through their campaign #DoNotTouchMyClothes in which they flaunt their colourful and rich traditional attires,

This campaign is in response to the recent show of solidarity by a group of women in black burqas and covered head to toe for the Taliban.

The show of solidarity by these women whose faces were covered evoked hilarious response on social media with netizens wondering if they were actually women.

However, it triggered an online campaign by the Afghan women who posted pictures of the traditional Afghan dresses to convey this is who we are.

 

 

While many are posting colorful pictures in Afghan costumes, few are posting pictures of the shops with traditional wear with a hope that they'll last.

Some even posted pictures of women in a musical concert saying that women of Afghan are musicians, poets,writers and freedom fighters.

The twitterati is strongly condemning the black burqa and full neqab attires that is nowadays being imposed upon the women of Afghanistan.
