Afghanistan is once again under the rule of the Taliban. A group of women has come forward to protest against the Taliban rules. In a video shared by Al Jazeera correspondent Hameed Mohammad Shah in his Twitter handle, four Afghan women can be seen with placards and shouting slogans in the streets of Kabul.
The video also shows a man with a rifle walking near the woman, as well as other armed men standing in the back of a pick-up truck parked nearby.

In another clip shared by Shah, a group of women can be seen walking down the streets demanding their right to work, be educated, and participate in politics.
According to Shah’s translation, one woman in the video says, “No force can ignore and stifle women.”
Take a look to get amazed by their bravery:
