Afghan Women Forced To Gather At Pro-Taliban Protest At University

New Delhi: many Afghan women were forced by the Taliban to collect at Kabul University wearing head-to-toe black robes that that they had distributed on the anniversary of 9/11 terrorist attacks. those that dared to refuse, say students, were to be expelled.
The women were made to carry placards in support of the Taliban and its strict interpretation of Islam, including separate education for men and ladies .

The Taliban’s interim government, drawn from their own loyalist ranks, has hardliners altogether key posts and no women – far faraway from the “inclusive” administration it had promised.

It has also reinstated the scary Ministry for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, which arrested and punished people for failing to implement the movement’s restrictive interpretation of shariah .

Under new rules, women may go “in accordance with the principles of Islam”, the Taliban have decreed, but is brief on details.

Afghan women are going to be allowed to attend university as long as they study separately from men, the Taliban’s new education minister said Sunday.

Minister Abdul Baqi Haqqani was unapologetic about bringing an end to mixed sex classes.

“We haven’t any problems in ending the mixed-education system,” he said. “The people are Muslims and that they will accept it.”

Earlier this month the Taliban had announced that they might still study at university if they wore an abaya robe and niqab covering most of the face, with classes segregated by sex — or a minimum of divided by a curtain.

Taliban spokesperson Sayed Zekrullah Hashimi in comments to TOLO News, Afghanistan’s first independent news channel, said women cannot be ministers, they ought to give birth.

“A woman cannot be a minister, it’s such as you put something on her neck that she can’t carry. it’s not necessary for ladies to be within the cabinet – they ought to give birth. Women protesters can’t represent all women in Afghanistan,” he had said.

Can women work? attend school and colleges are a number of the foremost urgent questions since the Taliban swept into Kabul on Assumption .
