On September 6, 2021, the Taliban took control of higher education again. The Taliban announced a new dress code for female students; all female students, teachers, and staff must wear an Islamic abaya robe and niqab that covers the hair, body, and most of the face. In response, Afghan women took to the streets to protest the Taliban. They shouted slogans and sang songs. Since the song “Ode to Down” was released, it has become hope for Afghan women to resist against the attacks on their freedom. Its lyrics have become the slogans of Afghan women rights activists.
