When the Taliban swept back into power, it took over a country in which the rights of Afghans, were enshrined in the constitution.
But since then, many of those rights have been eroded – especially for women and girls.
Now, Taliban officials have published a new set of morality laws – which will in their words, 'promote virtue and prevent vice.'
The new laws range from requiring women to cover their faces and men to grow beards to banning music in cars.
So, what impact will it have on the lives of millions of Afghans who are already struggling to survive?
