Fucking taliban.

I hadn't heard of the term Awrah before and googled a little. Guess it depends on whom you ask:

https://aboutislam.net/counseling/ask-the-scholar/women-issues/is-womens-voice-considered-an-awrah/

It's still unfathomable to me that this is even a question that needs to be considered... But then again I don't deal well with religion in general.
