Taliban Bans Women From Universities In Afghanistan

 

VOA: Taliban Bans Afghan Women from Universities  

Women and girls in Afghanistan suffered another setback in their push for equal access to education on Wednesday. Many universities closed their doors to female students hoping to take exams and attend class. 

 Reports by Voice of America and the Associated Press said young women could be seen crying after they were not permitted to go into their university buildings. 

Taliban fighters in Kabul and other Afghan cities blocked the students from going into their classrooms. The action came one day after the Taliban administration shared a letter that said private and public universities should ban women and girls as soon as possible.

Mmmmmmm....I bet many of the liberal ethno-Masochistic white females in the US and Europe are jealous in some warped way to hear this story.
