I don't wish to disparage people's spiritual beliefs, but I'm sorry nobody should have to go around wearing anything like this, no matter what faith you come from. You should have the freedom to EXIST as yourself and show who you are. This niqab stuff is abuse.

Too bad US had to overthrow the socialist secular government in Afghanistan and then subject it to decades of unending destruction. US regime is directly responsible for everything we see happening in Afghanistan today.

I wonder who funded the Taliban and gave them the weapons that lead to this 🤔

I love and promote life-long education for all peoples. This sucks. I can't imagine how much it sucks to be told you "can't."

This is the best summary I could come up with:

In September 2021, a month after U.S. and NATO troops withdrew from Afghanistan following two decades of war, the Taliban announced that girls were barred from studying beyond sixth grade.

The Taliban have defied global condemnation and warnings that the restrictions will make it almost impossible for them to gain recognition as the country’s legitimate rulers.

Last week, U.N. special envoy Roza Otunbayeva expressed concern that a generation of Afghan girls is falling behind with each day that passes.

Last week, an official in the Education Ministry said Afghan girls of all ages are allowed to study in religious schools known as madrassas, which have traditionally been boys-only.

In another part of Kabul, 13-year old Setayesh Sahibzada wonders what the future holds for her.

Analyst Muhammad Saleem Paigir warned that excluding women and girls from education will be disastrous for Afghanistan.

Sometimes I really need to have these news thrown on my face, is incredible that we tend to forget these situations most of the time
