Some Afghan women told her they found it difficult to work in. Wearing of the veil is not a universal practice among Muslim women. In Tunisia, for example, it's extremely rare to see women wearing any type of head covering these days. In Jordan, veiling is a personal choice. Some women say the veil is liberating. Arab-American Diba Rab says she chooses to wear a veil because it acts as an equalizer.

The burqa is a full-body veil that is worn over other garments, with a mesh screen over the eyes. Shaheen, however, did not specify what other types of headscarves would be acceptable. Women, he said, can continue their education, but with Islamic hijab.
Earlier, Taliban leaders had said they would respect the rights of women in the country within the framework of Islamic law. Shopping wearing such an all-encompassing garment is not easy. Women have to raise their voices, trying to bargain with stallholders they can barely see from behind their veils. Sometimes they ask shopkeepers if they can draw their goods under the burka, so as to inspect them properly.
The image of a woman wearing the voluminous covering came to symbolise Afghanistan under the Taleban. Although women have taken a far greater role in public life since their regime fell in , the burka is still a common sight in many parts of the country. Many argue that the burka is not an Islamic requirement of hijab, or modest dress. They also insist that it has no real root in Afghan culture, where women traditionally covered their hair and shoulders with a large shawl.
I am not obliged to imprison myself in metres of fabric in the name of modesty, because the burka is an imported phenomenon, not part of Afghan culture. The robes cover a woman completely and are usually sky-blue, although white, brown and other shades are occasionally seen. Most are made of cheap synthetic material, with a mesh face-covering that allows only a limited view of the outside world. Although the burka is most closely associated with Afghanistan, historians say it is a relatively recent arrival to the country.
