In the past few days we've been hearing that the Taliban in Afghanistan have ordered all women to veil their faces when in public. This was the dress code that the Taliban enforced when they were last in power.

But the way women dress is not the only right they've been losing, according to documentary-maker Ramita Navai.

Working undercover, the British journalist has produced 鈥淎fghanistan: No country for women鈥� to highlight the new reality for Afghan women under Taliban rule.

鈥淭he Taliban are arresting hundreds and imprisoning hundreds of women for so-called moral crimes. There cases are not being officially recorded or registered. They are being tasered and beaten in prison.鈥�

鈥淭hey disappear off the streets and鈥� are swallowed up in the system. They are also being abducted and forced into marriage by Taliban fighters, commanders and officials.鈥�
