Afghan universities were declared off limits to women because female students were not following instructions including a proper dress code, the Taliban’s minister for higher education said Thursday.
KABUL, Afghanistan —
But Neda Mohammad Nadeem, the minister for higher education in the Taliban government, insisted Thursday that women students had ignored Islamic instructions — including on what to wear or being accompanied by a male relative when travelling. The authorities had also decided to shut those madrassas that were teaching only women students but were housed inside mosques, Nadeem said.
They are also barred from travelling without a male relative and must cover up in public, and are prohibited from going to parks, fairs, gyms and public baths. The international community has made the right to education for all women a sticking point in negotiations over aid and recognition of the Taliban regime.But Nadeem hit back at the international community, saying it should “not interfere in Afghanistan’s internal affairs”.Earlier Thursday a group of Afghan women staged a street protest in Kabul against the ban.
