For more than 40 years the Taliban have taken control of Afghanistan. The Taliban make regulations that apply in Afghanistan by using Islamic law. The applicable regulations are one of the restrictions on activities for Afghan women. One of the regulations that applies is the use of burqas for Afghan Muslim women. In the animated film The Breadwinner, a story is based on events that took place in Afghanistan. This research uses qualitative with semiotic method from Roland Barthes to analyze the animated film by Nora Twomey. The purpose of this study is to find out representations about Afghan women in the scenes of the animated film The Breadwinner. This piece of picture will produce a myth that happened in real Afghanistan. The results of this study show that Afghan Muslim women are considered weak and cannot do anything because they are bound by the regulations made by the Taliban. But Afghan women today want to get freedom to be free from Taliban rule, they have the power to fight Taliban or patriarchal forces in Afghanistan.
