J. Gohari (2000). ''The Taliban: Ascent to Power''. Oxford: Oxford University Press, ISBN 0-19-579560-1 pp. 108-110.〕 In a systematic segregation sometimes referred to as gender apartheid, women were not allowed to work, they were not allowed to be educated after the age of eight, and until then were permitted only to study the Qur'an. Women seeking an education were forced to attend underground schools, where they and their teachers risked execution if caught.〔Synovitz, Ron.

London: Pluto Press, pp6-11/159-165.〕 Other restrictions were: * Women should not appear in the streets without a blood relative or without wearing a burqa * Women should not wear high-heeled shoes as no man should hear a woman’s footsteps lest it excite him * Women must not speak loudly in public as no stranger should hear a woman's voice〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=some of the restrictions imposed by Taliban in Afghanistan )〕 * All ground and first floor residential windows should be painted over or screened to prevent women being visible from the street * Photographing or filming of women was banned as was displaying pictures of females in newspapers, books, shops or the home * The modification of any place names that included the word "women".
