Photographer Habiba Nouroz created a project in which she showed how difficult it is for her compatriots who are forced to hide themselves, obeying the general rules.

She says that women in her native country are constantly under pressure and forced to hide their beauty. Covering their face and body, they suffer from a loss of individuality, and this leads to psychological trauma.In the photos of the photographer, the heroines look bright and colorful, but their faces are completely covered.
