Description
Women in Tajikistan are being advised by the government to dress more "Tajik-style" and not wear either revealing Western clothes or Islamic head coverings, supposedly to reinforce national identity. A manual is to be published in July advising women and girls on what to wear "at work, at home, at the theatre or during celebrations". “Women in Tajikistan have always faced pressure about what to wear,” says Farzona Saeedzoda of the Tell Me Sister feminist group.
