The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.
The Taliban's Ministry of Virtue and Vice in Afghanistan ordered sellers to remove mannequins from their shops or behead them in 2021, based on an Islamic doctrine forbidding statues and images in human form. Some sellers followed the rules, while others pushed back, claiming that they would be unable to display their clothes correctly or would need to destroy valuable mannequins. The Taliban then amended the decree to allow shopkeepers to keep their mannequins as long as their faces were covered. This has resulted in dress shops in Kabul displaying mannequins covered in black plastic bags, aluminum foil, or pieces of cloth. The policy posed a challenge to shopkeepers, who needed to obey the strict law and simultaneously attract customers to their shops. "When I see them, I feel that these mannequins are also captured and trapped, and I get a sense of fear," an Afghan woman named Rahima told the Associated Press. "I feel like I see myself behind these shop windows, an Afghan woman who has been deprived of all her rights."
