Women university students across Afghanistan were in disbelief on Wednesday, barred by the Taliban from studying and condemned to a life of feeling "like caged birds."
A female university student walks in front of a university in Kandahar Province on December 21, 2022. Afghanistan's Taliban rulers have banned university education for women nationwide, provoking condemnation from the US and the United Nations over another assault on human rights.
She was with her three sisters—two already barred from secondary school and another studying for a degree—when social media exploded with the news of the late-night order. "My sister is studying computer science... I didn't inform her last night. I know she would be traumatized," said a young male law student in Kabul, who asked not to be named for fear of reprisals.
Upon their return to power, the Taliban had promised to be more flexible, but they quickly re-enforced a harsh interpretation of Islam that had marked their first stint in power between 1996 and 2001.
