The Taliban banned women from travelling for more than 45 miles by themselves without a male relative

Women in Afghanistan can't travel more than 45 miles by road without being accompanied by a male relative according to the Taliban.

On Sunday, it banned the playing of music in vehicles, according to Agence France-Presse.

The Taliban regained control of Afghanistan in August. The Taliban held Afghanistan before the US-led coalition forces took it over in 2001.
Women were not allowed to work, they were not allowed to go to school, and women were not allowed to leave their homes without a male relative.

People had to paint over the windows of their homes to stop outsiders from seeing women inside, and women were not allowed to be on the street with men who were not related to them, according to a 2001 report.

Women could be punished for breaking the rules by being beaten or stoned to death.

The Taliban said it would protect women's rights, but it has strict rules for women, including barring girls from high schools.
Women who became activists, politicians, and judges after the Taliban was defeated said they were afraid of being hunted and punished.

Heather Barr, the associate director of women's rights for Human Rights Watch, said that the new travel order limited women.

She said that it makes it hard for them to move about freely, to travel to another city, to do business, and to flee if they are facing violence in the home.
