- I was shocked – he says in an interview with BBC journalist Hayan Ensafi local media, who took a picture of a woman. – I knew I had to capture the moment, because I’ve never seen a girl on the street dressed this way – he added.
Ensafi tried to talk to a woman, but this went very quickly and did not answer.
After this as a journalist posted photos on Facebook, thousands of people commented on it and made available. BBC correspondent in Kabul, Syed Anwar stresses that the mysterious woman garment provoked widespread discussion, but in Afghanistan, few people use the internet. – People are talking about it, not only on social networks, but also on the streets. Wonder if this kind of protest, if the woman is mentally ill – reports.
“My body, my rights”
Opinions are divided. Many people think women dress as a political manifesto. “It’s her body, not yours. I congratulate courage. More women should do that” – wrote one of the Internet, and another added, “My body, my rights.”
Many were, however, disagree. “We live in a Muslim country and we can not allow this kind of behavior,” – said one of the commenters.
It should be noted that the covering of the body is a relatively new phenomenon in Afghanistan. Back in the 60s exposed legs did not cause a sensation. In the 90s, when the country was under Taliban rule, women have lost most of the rights. Today we are obliged to wear headgear and clothing covering the entire body.
The BBC correspondent notes that the discovery of the legs is dangerous for women, and comments on this with pictures seem to confirm this. Many Afghans believe that her dress is evidence of moral decay in the country.
The identity of the woman remains unknown. Hayat Ensafi lost sight of it shortly after taking the pictures. – We Kabul is in shock – he says.
