Afghanistan: Aryana Sayeed challenges Taliban with female-only European tour

Euronews Portugal4 September 2026 at 14:51

Aryana Sayeed, one of Afghanistan's biggest pop stars, is performing on a female-only European tour. The artist decided to organize concerts with only female audiences, creating a safe space for Afghan women who want to enjoy music without restrictions imposed by the Taliban regime.

The singer is using her voice as an instrument of unity among Afghan women, defending their rights through music. This tour represents a form of cultural resistance in a context where women in Afghanistan face severe restrictions on their freedom of expression and participation in public life.

The event comes at a particularly difficult time for women in Afghanistan, since the Taliban took control of the country. Aryana Sayeed thus becomes a prominent figure in the fight for women's rights, using her popularity to raise awareness of the cause of Afghan women in Europe.
