Afghanistan Out Of Fashion Burqas.

Two women beg in front of a mosque in Balkh. The Taliban may be gone from the north of Afghanistan, but the burqa is still omnipresent, albeit in a range of colours. Fashion changes from year to year, Brown, Green, White and Gold all having come to pass. Blue is still the colour worn by the majority of Afghan women.
