The arrival of the Taliban in the capital of Afghanistan, in Kabul, has meant a radical change for the entire female population, also for the foreign correspondents who cover the daily information of the country.
A very eloquent photo of what is happening is one in which the American reporter appears Clarissa Ward, responsible for the section CNN International. In it, the journalist is seen before and after the arrival of the Taliban, first with her loose hair and makeup and then with a black veil, the popular hijab, to cover her hair and part of her face.
It is clear that a picture is worth a thousand words. Immediately social networks have echoed the situation that women must live in the country. Many of them will also be required to wear burqas.

Afghanistan is now in the hands of the Taliban, who took control of the capital on Sunday after their fighters entered without meeting resistance, and with almost all provinces under their control.
The victory was completed with the flight of the president, Ashraf Ghani, to “avoid bloodshed”, since, as explained in a statement, the Taliban were ready to attack Kabul to overthrow it.
“We have achieved a victory that was not expected (…) we must show humility before Allah,” Mullah Baradar Akhund, head of the political office of the insurgents in Qatar, declared this Monday in a video released to announce the conclusion of the conflict with the triumph of the insurgents.
Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the United States representative to the United Nations, assures that his country will launch a “rapid and strong military response” if there are actions that put its personnel at risk in Afghanistan.
