CARE, Save the Children, and the International Rescue Committee (IRC) claim to have received assurances from Taliban officials that female workers will be allowed to carry out their duties.
Afghanistan's women students are both dismayed and angered by the Taliban's announcement that they are banned from attending university, the latest assault on women's rights in the country. Wajiha Kazimi, a 19-year-old student who survived a suicide attack on her education centre in September, says the Taliban have "totally burnt the page on which we exist." Despite promising a softer rule when they seized power last year, the hardline Islamists have ratcheted up restrictions on all aspects of women's lives, ignoring international outrage.
emale university students in Afghanistan were turned away from campuses on Wednesday after the Taliban-run administration said women would be suspended from tertiary education.
Just hours after they’d returned to classes, Afghan schoolgirls had their dreams dashed as the Taliban sent them home again, in a shock policy reversal. For those watching their hopes of education slip away, Afghanistan has become "a jail" under Taliban rule.
Girls resumed classes across much of Afghanistan Wednesday after Taliban authorities announced the reopening of their secondary schools, more than seven months after seizing power and imposing harsh restrictions on the rights of women to be educated. IMAGES
