[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A number of the civil society activists on Thursday walked in Kabul city wearing "Burqas" to yield for women rights.
They went to the Human Rights Commission of Afghanistan and shouted slogans supporting women's rights.
The protest started from Pul-e-Surkh area of Kabul city and ended after reaching the Human Rights Commission.
The protest was named as "Men in Burqas" .
Burqa wearing protesters said that they are not against the Burqas but they wanted to experience the problems or harassment women face.
They asked authorities to solve the problems of the women, especially those in "Burqas".
The march was conducted by civil society activists as the International Women Day which is celebrated every year on 8th March is looming.
International Women Day bears a slogan of respect, gender equality, appreciation and love towards women.
During Taliban regime women were obliged to wear "Burqas" when going out but after the fall of the Taliban regime in 2001 there is no restriction from government on women to wear specific veil.
They can wear Burqas, Hijabs (Veils) or walk in normal clothes but a rise in violence against women can be seen after the fall the Taliban regime.
