KABUL — An Afghan woman sings in a video showing just a sliver of her face, one of dozens of women taking part in an online protest against a law that bans women from raising their voices in public.

Taliban authorities last week announced the law, which includes rules that women's faces, bodies and voices should be 'covered' outside the home, among 35 articles dictating behavior and lifestyle.
