Since returning to power in 2021, the Taliban have restricted women's freedoms and rights. Girls and women have protested, but faced a massive crackdown.
The Last Torch got its inspiration from the women protesting across the country and emerged shortly after the Taliban's takeover of power. This documentary follows them as they risk their lives to fight for freedom.
This film also features three generations of female musicians who have been resisting the restrictions imposed on them by various regimes in a deeply conservative society.
Farida Mahwash is the only female singer who obtained the title of Ustad (maestro) and speaks about opportunities and challenges for female musicians since the 70s.
Sonita Alizada, one of the first female rappers from Afghanistan, has been using her stage to challenge traditional values restricting women and girls.

May all girls and women be free from male oppression !
Correction** May all the girls and women be free from Islam.
This only happens on Islamic countries.
@@Bingshuina-yp7nm no, no correction needed. they said what they said, and what they said was spot on. ALL male oppression of women must end

Wearing a restricted bruka isn't written in any Bible of any religion. These are man-made rules to oppress women.
O Prophet! Ask your wives, daughters, and believing women to draw their cloaks over their bodies. In this way it is more likely that they will be recognized ˹as virtuous˺ and not be harassed. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful. -Quran 33:59

In civilized countries MEN ARE HELD TO ACCOUNT ...THEY CANNOT RAPE OR BLAME WOMEN FOR ANY REASON THAT IS JUST A WEAKNESS IN THEMSELVES.. MALE MYSOGINISTIC CHAVINISTIC SADISTIC CONTROLS ..THINKING THEY ARE SUPERIOR THAN ALL WOMEN IS NO NEW IN ANY SOCIETY ...WE STILL HAVE THESE IGNORANT ABUSIVE BY CHOICE MEN IN ALL SOCIETIES THAT HARM WOMEN...BUT WOMEN MUST BE ABLE TO BE FREE JUST LIKE MEN ...AND SO MEN MUST LEARN TO RESPECT WOMEN AND ALLIW THEM TO BE INDIVIDUALS AND FREE AS LIFE INTENDED...MARRY WHEN THEY WANT WHO THEY WANT AND WHEN.

@@littleboyimnidathen , it means Allah, mohammd and Quran, are discriminatory towards women ....
Most of the main religions are tho, just to add. And yes it's in the man made texts of those religions.
@@saurabhsingh5263my dear the selfish and demonic prophet wrote that law because someone mistakenly touch Aisha. This man made religion is a plaque to our world
The loss of art, music, feminine presence and the restriction and hiding of women and their voices is so sad, actually tragic. These women are brave hero’s. I pray for their mission and their safety.
These woman are as tough and brave as humans get. Respect Respect
Sad hope they have freedom over there one day
Im native American from a matriarch tribe and women are the bosses and these women deserve asylum imo
What type of fanatics say that playing instruments are of satan??? Absolute insanity.
26:15 but they are driving cars, holding guns, using mobiles phones and other things which comes from the western world 😅😅😅😅
@@jamesmwenda5427and above all, they are marrying and abusing children.....😢
Extreme Islamists are the ones.
Those that aren't able to play instruments because of lack of talent say instruments are Satan's insanity crew!!
Muhammad banned music.
This is what Britain, Europe could look like in 50 years. Why don't people understand?
Exactly!
Exactly!!! Just some centuries ago, Christianity was castrating people of other races for eugenics, destroying many pagan beliefs, forcefully converting others to christianity, and burning books and codices of the native Americans. This problem doesn't lie inherently in Islam. Any religion can be politicised. First, the worst religion was Christianity, and now its Islam. Most christian-majority countries are now secular. People are only adding more fuel to the fire by discriminating against Muslims.
Keep the immigrants coming! Keep them coming! Soon Europe will turn into a calyphate. What a sad place to live. Say goodbye to your glorious days.
Agree
50 years? Next year the way things are going. Wake up people
No woman and no one should be forced, pressured to wear anything that they do not want go wear! Love from Malaysia
islam**
This isn’t just happening in a far away place, and doesn’t affect us, it could happen anywhere when fanatics win power
No those fanatics will get "taken care of"
This goes against Islam. This is wrong for women to sing. I tis in Hadith and Quran.
@@bunjijumper5345 everything woman do is against Islam. We no longer lives a 1000 years ago.
@@bunjijumper5345it is also wrong to force women to do smth or make them cry.
Have fun UK under Sharia Law! 1.25 million Muslims who are British citizens hate democracy and want the UK to be under Sharia Law. Scotland’s Muslim leader did just that.
Where is the voice of the so called moderate Islam around the world?
They just wash their hands of it
Obviously if you're a piece of property, you should do what your masters say before they dissect you for better use
Doesn't exist
We don’t see feminism and women rights defenders in Gaza
no moderate islam same pot but lies
It’s wonderful that the imposed burka is used against the Taliban oppressor. I’m so proud of these women.
This kind of burka is not impossed by taliban. In india also Manu wear that kind of burka. It's there culture You are the victim of anti chirst media propaganda.
You dont know if it is staged or what. GIve me a break. As long as you dont show your face to me you do not count.
Agreed 👌
@@mariselajulyana3252 thanks,as you can see some are not very supportive of these women or any for that matter.
@@debeichmann236 i know all around the world many women are denied many basic rights but the Women & Girls in Afghanistan its on another level smh 🇨🇦
This documentary brought tears to my eyes. The pain must be unbearable for women, singers and musicians. All this due to religious fanatics who misrepresent and deliberately misinterpret their religion, and who brought Afghanistan, back to the dark ages, a country I visited in 1976 and 1977 . It was the golden age of this beautiful country. May freedom come back soon.
So we should believe our Enemy American media paid actor video? 😂😂😂😂

Muslims and others in the U.S. and elsewhere are so concerned about conditions in Gaza. Where is the concern for oppressed women throughout the Islamic world?
Women and children were very much oppressed in Gaza.
@@AotearoaAnge If you rattle a snake m, it bites best. Gaza happened to be the rattlers victims

And they think they are doing God's work. They are fulfilling the prophecy of Jesus
Really?! More than 5 thousand women are killed in Gaza by the idf, Women in Gaza are being brutally separated from their loved ones facing their worst days in rafah with no food and clean water and this hypocrite coward media will never cover the horrific stories of the Palestinian women
Music is expression of feelings, it is life itself.

@@roops2939whyy?!!
@Account-user because a certain 7th century Arabian caravan robber, warlord and sl ave trader said so after suffering from hallucinations. That's why. 1.6 billion people believe it , why don't you?
Wish the makers of this program gave viewers a way to assist these incredible women. I moved from the US to Australia in 2018, so have only known freedom as a woman. Seeing just a glimpse of what Afghani women live through is terribly depressing. What can free women do? One other thought - who raised the jailers? Do their mothers adhere to subjugation?💔
Kudos to your question !! I want to know too !!
Yes, these men will subjugate their own mothers. You must understand, they believe they are the agents of God on Earth. They believe they are implementing His will, and no woman, not even a mother, can tell them otherwise. Many Afghan men are not like this, but they are not the ones with the power and the guns.
There’s a lot free women can do! Some ideas include: Support the Afghan Women’s National Soccer Team who now live in Australia (sponsored by Melbourne Victory club, check their website for ways to help) Support refugees or refugee organisations in your community, eg in Melbourne, the Asylum Seekers Resource Centre Donate to organisations like Human Rights Watch who advocate for Afghan women’s rights. There are other ways, Google is your friend!
Just let the women know that you support them by commenting in their videos, stand by them in spirit. Let your disdain of oppressors (like the taliban) be known, use your voice in social media. If you see any petitions that will raise awareness, sign them. Women in the United States had to fight for many years for the same rights that men were automatically given at birth such as : voting, wearing pants, owning land, having a credit card in their name etc. Some of these rights weren't available to women until the late 1970s to the early 1980s, including equal pay. Women have been imprisoned, humiliated, disowned etc. just for wanting equal rights. You must fight to keep your rights daily. They already took our rights to Healthcare away and they aren't going to stop at that, they want to take birth control next. Vote blue to keep them from becoming our taliban in the United States. Before the taliban took over Afghanistan in 1980, the women dressed exactly like us and had all their rights, now they can't get an education or walk in a park. It's religious extremists, like the ones that support the republican party in America. We can help Afghani women by helping ourselves first. If we lose our voices, we'll be helpless to others. 18:14
@@change691 yes, I appreciate your reply and have been acutely aware of much of what women have been through in the US. The current push for taking away more of their rights is frightening and infuriating. Still would like to do more than just speaking out on social media. (I only use Facebook and just occasionally.)
Indeed, Afghan women are one of the worlds most talented and beautiful women in this earth!
My heart goes out to the oppressed women (and men!) of Afghanistan 🌹
Imagine those babies born 20 years ago and no nothing but war..like war is the normal. What also surprises me is not that they would ban music especially western music but that they would ban there own traditional music that goes back centuries and there own instruments.
It’s because Ulter orthodox Muslims believe all type of music is a sin
crazy !yup Americans are going pretty fundamental,
Because they're backward, ignorant fundamentalists.They don't want their women and their country to progress, zan, zendeghi, azadi
@@andreasobuaculla9511 yeah destroy your own culture because America supported it!
Miindset be a curse of the people of Afghanistan, the Islamic rules make a hell for the women
Incredible story. These women are heroes. I Hope that one day they will have the freedom to sing without having to wear a burka.
I just don't understand how so many men can be so cruel. Surely most Afghan men don't want to live like this.
You'd be discouraged once you realize Afghans wanted this. As Apostate Prophet, an ex-Muslim said, the Taliban wouldn't have come back so easily if Afghans didn't want them. The reality is majority of Afghans want the Taliban back.
@@Milliardo5That's wrong. As soon as America left and Taliban came into power, Afghans were literally trying to hang onto aeroplane wings to escape their country. Many even fell down to their death😢. And Afghani politicians left the country too with a bag of money in their hands😂. Politicians are all like that only.
@@indianministryofilluminati3531 That's only the minority--mostly those trying to escape were those who had ties to the US military. Majority of the people resented US presence. Initially they thought the US would help but years later, conditions hardly improved. Once the Taliban rolled back in, no one resisted them that's why they came to power in just a matter of days. If the Afghans don't want them, there'd be fighting and resistance. There was NONE.
Most men in every country are cruel.. they are the ones that start wars.
When you will study about Islam it's origin.and it's primitive nature.and there fantasy about they will get everything after death. Their unwillingness to change in the the religion.this is going to happen
Keep on fighting women of Afghanistan. Don't ever give up. One day you will all see freedom
Keep protesting in anyway you feel is safe.
It’s slavery in our times, so heartbreaking.
So where’s BLM?

can we have a way to buy their music/songs?
No music or song
BBC introduce this girl in Canada to Eminem… he needs to know she wants to work with him 🙏❤
She would be killed by the taliban.
Thank you so much for this! These women are so heroic; I don't know how they find they courage to risk their lives like this, but i am selfishly glad that they do. If there is God in heaven, surely God rejoices in the beauty of such music. If God does not love music, then I cannot believe in God.
Every Muslim country women go through this...

how do you know ?
I'm am one of those and visited many countries.... personal experience
So we should believe our Enemy American media paid actor video? 😂😂😂😂
@sheikhsaju-bw6nm so we must believe your chauvinist a$$?
This is Islam. Not Taliban, not Hamas, not Hezbollah....true Islam.
Why are there no protests in the UK about the oppression of Afghan, Iranian, Pakistani etc women?
Does not carry virtue signalling points
Very good question
Bc its not trendy.
Bc Islam will kill you for speaking out. Religion of peace! 😂
Why are pretend transgender men in women’s change rooms etc! ?
The protestors should be gathering for these oppressed women, and for all women.
the amount of suffering that humens give to each other is enormous. Hell is other People 😢.
Beautiful music from creative souls❤. The struggle for womens rights globally grows stronger, keep spreading light with your music. Love from Tanzania
Let this be a lesson to all the pro Palestine women who are mostly Muslims. This is what you get when you want to steer Britain into accepting Islamic norms. The freedom you get here under English law will surely be taken away by your very own men as they’ll be influenced more and more by the strict teachings of Imams. Be wise, respect the Brits who give freedom of speech to ALL.
Oh my god what has Palestine to do with the taliban? I have never seen any Palestinian woman forced to wear burqa or a man being burned because of music
Are you for real? Trying to be obtuse on purpose? What is the common factor between the two?
Free Afghanistan from terrorists Taliban.

From the mountains to sea Afganistan will be free... More power to the women in Afganistan❤✊🏼
All their songs were last posted two years ago. Wow.
These heroines have inspired me. I'm a Hungarian woman from the capital Budapest, and do street music. The first song the sisters sing, has a Szekler Hungarian tune parallel from Suseni (Eastern Transylvania, RO), also a Turkish one and a Mari one (latter collected by Robert Lach, noted by Zoltán Kodály in his book Hungarian Folk Music). The Hungarian variant also reflects a condition that the lyrical self wants to burst out of. Find the original recording from 1910 in ZTI Hungaricana database: type the audio ID MH - 1263 into the browser and click on Hangfelvétel lejátszása (means Play audio) button. I've just had the brainwave to join The Last Torch as an external supporter, learn the 1st piece from this video, match it with its Hungarian tune parallel into stereo with a friend, include it into an exclusive open mic performance and make it heck viral.
..... and things weren't much better in the UK up to the 20th century. My grandmother used to recount stories of her experiences with gender discrimination as a child, and it continued to anger her until her death at the age of 99. As a male, she taught me a lot about respecting fellow humans and the rights of women. I fear that, much like in Afghanistan, it was fueled by male religious bigots. It's a sad reflection of human reality that such philosophies are allowed to propagate. History undoubtedly keeps repeating itself. Ad altiora!
But who the hell gonna teach muslims men's about respecting woman's right we non muslims are no threat to any woman's right
You are mentally unwell to compare the UK and what goes on in Islamic countries. You re belittling what happen to Muslim people. I am from Algeria. I would be killed for leaving Islam. If I ever go back I would be killed. Comparing the two is outrages.
@@suvendukumarnath7941😔🙏🏻
This reminds of the story of Bollywood movie Secret Superstar. She too conceals her face in a burqa to sing & goes viral on KZhead. More power to these brave girls! 🙌🏻
How come their father, brother and husband's are not fighting for them to retain their freedom 🤔 😕 🙄 😳 😉
I hope other women too take them as an inspiration 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Well there are Bible figures that are women that God highly favoured.. so I’ll take my cue from them.
Anyone else having the profound realization of all the sick music and singing we all missed out on? Their voices are beautiful and the songs sounded really pretty ❤️
I’m proud of these women! And scared for them!
I've been praying for these brave Christians. I saw a Short on KZhead of a band of Christians walking down a busy street in Iran singing "My God He Lives"... It's beautiful. May God's hand be upon them. May HE go before then, and be their rear guard. In JESUS Name
Conditions in Tower Hamlets in East Londonistan are not much better.
It’s so painful to see their suffering and the suffering of the afghan women, it’s hard to imagine a time when they are free but this brings me hope that they will keep fighting for their rights.
Yes girls fight back ,sheer ignorance in Afghanistan
Every inequality & apartheid system is horrendous. May common sense prevail everywhere in the 🌎
Common sense is dead. Sry
Thank you for making & Sharing this video. Love & Respect from Ireland ☘✌.

Music works as softener of human mind. Take it away and what is left is a hardened attitude.
They don't realize that not the instruments are the problem.

You afghani Women are really brave. Even braver than we iranian women. Please don't do our mistakes. Take your rght as soon as possible later is really difficult ❤❤❤. Woman, Life, Freedom ✌️✌️✌️. What an amazing song and voices👏👏👏
Thank you for this documentary. The world needs to know about this. ❤
Thank you for giving this movement a platform.
Oppression like that should be stoped by international law. No one deserve to live like that. However it bother me that some of those woman who escape the regime and live in the free democratic country continues to live exactly same way as in their origin country under regime. Can someone tell me why ? Why to emigrate if nothing change.
Because their men continue the oppression regardless. Then there's some women enforcing it also. Female cutting still happening in London and the government stays out of it. Reports of many women going to police in England and being told it's a cultural religion issue. Countries are appeasing islamists and women still suffer.
Pressure from family and community. Unless they denounce the religion, which is actually a death penalty, not much changes. Not just women but men are also in danger if they denounce Islam. You'd have to give up everyone and everything you know, live in hiding.
Because they happily surrender their desires to their creator. And abide by his rules. And it’s not oppression. Not every man has the right to stare at her. She precious
Because ISLAM brainwashes. Indoctrinated by pure evil.
@@ayeshasiddika9203We have primitive men from primitive cultures who attack swedish women here in Sweden because our women are not covered.

This is why woman of the year should have went to a female
All these men raised by a mother so yung mothers wake up and teach your children love and respect at home and for others.
These ladies are so courageous and defying the most oppressive, cruel and tyrannical regime who reduce women to invisible non-human entities, taking extreme control over all aspects of their lives, these dear women are hostagea to a tyrannical misogynist population of monsters. Not a word from the international community to free Afghan women from the Taliban.
Beautiful doc
😢uff my poor beloved country 😢 💔

Their voices are so beautiful
Our hearts join with yours from all around the world. To be a Canadian woman and try to understand this barbaric regime is impossible. Because it's evil and about power and control...not Love. How can those taliban men not want a woman that loves them? Power over love?? I pray these women find joy in their fight with darkness. Light overcomes the darkness. One candle in a room is more powerful than the dark that surrounds it.
Heard you sisters. Well done for your bravery
Brave woman keep up your good works ,much respect
And we have women in countries that are not oppressed in support of suppressing women in another country.
The word HIJAB is used in the Quran but NOT for Ladies. They took the desert clothing that is needed in sand storms and called it religious. Other religious groups were already wearing it for a long time. in Quran 24.31. The word is KHIMAR. Khimar just means COVERING (They’ve added head, hair, face to the word “covering”) Quran 24.31 (part) //… put forth the KHIMARs over the JAYBs …// “yadribna bi’Khumur’ihinna ala juyoob’ihinna” [Plurals : khumur, juyoob] Put forth the COVER over the Jayb. Please notice it just gives importance to: “Cover the Jayb” Jayb means OPENING (Like an opening in a shirt for creating a pocket - some translate it as Bosoms coz that’s where the Jayb is) They will then point out Quran 33.59 but see what it says in that verse also: “…JILBAB over themselves…” JILBAB- outer clothing (wearing of decent clothes over the underwears as OUTER CLOTHING) (Please NOTICE:- No head, hair, face cover even in this verse)
say it louder
Thank you for the clarification
Sister if u telling the truth mens gonna get mad crazy
And some christian says free free Palestine non sense
we are witnessing the genocide of Palestine . Free Palestine 🇵🇸 im not even arab and i stand with Palestine
Respect to these brave women💖✨💫
Imagine this world without Islam!
The army in Afghanistan were cowards. They surrendered all human life in their country. Now we see it’s the women who have the balls to fight against oppression.
At least Palestinians are free to become Christians if they wish. Be strong sisters, God sees you and will one day deliver you

This is why I loathe religion because in the hands of anyone, it's used to control and subject humans.I couldn't be in a country like that without fighting back, even if it would cost me my life. After all, no one lives forever. We're only waiting our turn to be called by our maker. And may I not know nor serve a god that forces people to worship it. These ignorant fanatics have taken the people of Afghanistan a 1,000 years backwards. I'm rooting for those women fighting for their freedom. I wish them well, and hope their people would receive freedom from those ignoramus.
Don’t give up. Keep going brave women. Fight for your freedom.
If taliban forces women to wear burka and hijab, in Afghanistan,who does force Muslim women in Uk to wear hijab and burka? The majority of Muslim women wear hijab and burka in the UK,
It's hard even to breathe while wearing face mask during covid-19 outbreak, how much more wearing those "blue covered your head and foot burkas" we're still fortunate here in south east Asia women are free to do their own thing 🙏💖👍
Beautiful voices!
keep singing! it s not the patriarchy it s narrow mindedness, and ignorance!!
❤❤ keep singing 🎵🎵🎵🎵❤❤❤ good work
I think every woman has the right what to wear. I know people who, at certain times in their lives, covered their heads because they wanted it. And later they opened up because it harmed their health. I am a believer, like many members of my family, we pray, try to help people in need, as stated in the Holy Book. But none of my family members or friends cover their heads. I think this is because of the Soviet past of our country (Azerbaijan).
As a woman and a musician, my heart breaks for the women in Afghanistan. I could only hope to be as brave as them.
Islam is feminist said by people in free world who never experience the religious oppression.
Keep fighting Afghan woman, I believe someday things are change
I will still remember the Islam books and languages for knowledge and protection for my mind .My brain 🧠 must stay healthy and 💪 strong. FLLOWER of Islam🎉🎉Not Abuse Islam to women
Sing for justice and your songs will become a new book of Psalms.
Outdated thought and beliefs imposed by a caveman mentality. Respect to women the world over in all colours, creed , culture and religion who have to bear the brunt of such oppression. Standing up at the cost of your life is a super human power
How are we, as American women able to help? Pls let us know..
My brave sisters! We have no idea in the West.
I wish these women can one day be free and show their faces
