"I went to RTA but they told me that the regime has changed. you are not allowed, go home," she said in a video.

Her video has revealed the truth behind the Taliban's lies of giving rights to women. The Taliban had claimed earlier that it will be giving more freedom to women in this new term of their rule in Afghanistan. It also claimed that it will allow women to step outside to go to the market without a male escort, go to work, study, or reveal their shoes this time.
