KABUL, AFGHANISTAN - 4/18/2006: Women in burqas shop for shoes and other goods at Mandawi Market in Kabul. Although no longer required to wear burqas on the street, many women still do out of habit or fear of reprisals from male relatives. During Taliban times women were not allowed on the street without an escort from a male relative, but now, with or without a burqa, women can go about their business on their own.
