Afghani women protest, seek reopening of schools for girls in Kabul
Taliban takeover: A group
of women in Kabul on Friday protested against the closing of schools, colleges
and universities for female students, saying that this is a violation of their
fundamental rights in Afghan society.
Teachers and lecturers
from schools and universities of Kabul said the closing of schools and
universities amid the Taliban takeover was a serious concern that could deeply
affect the future of education of girls in Afghanistan and the Taliban should
give serious attention to it.
Female students said education was their Islamic and legal right
and that no one should take this right from them. Afghan women continued to
protest even after they were stopped by 'security forces'.
Earlier, Deputy Minister of Information and Culture Zabiullah Mujahid
said protestors should get permission from the Ministry of Justice. It is been
more than a month since the Taliban took over Afghanistan, the secondary
schools and universities have remained closed for female students.
On the other hand, as the Taliban has restricted the entry of
women at Kabul University, the normally bustling campus now wears a deserted
look.
While classes have been
suspended on the campus, only male employees have been allowed to work on
research or office tasks.
The Taliban has said that women will be banned from teaching or
studying at public universities in Afghanistan until they can be segregated
from men. However, at Kabul University, both male and female students have been
sent home.
The Taliban imposed a new "harsh" education policy, in
which women may be present on campuses only if they wear traditional Islamic
garb and do not share space with male students.
