I don’t know you tell me. I never claimed anyone was being “oppressed”. It’s just seems silly to see little girls dressed in a way that is meant for adults.
It’s also interesting that the taliban get called all types of names for forcing burqa on their daughters but if this was Muslims living in the west, people don’t dare to judge.

Most parents who have small children, Muslim or otherwise, dress their children in a style that they, the parents, like. Why is hijab, which ultimately is just a piece of cloth, any different? Would you argue that these parents are “forcing” their children to dress according to their liking?

As far as the Taliban, they did not force the burqa on their daughters, they enforced this on ALL women living in Afghanistan at the time, including women they had no connection or authority over whatsoever and who were adult enough to make their own decisions. That is what people found immoral. One cannot compare parental rights over small children to the rights of adults being trampled by a totalitarian regime.
