Kvinnor stängs ute från afghanska universitet
Talibanstyret i Afghanistan förbjuder kvinnor att studera på universitet. Det uppger landets departement för högre utbildning i ett brev enligt Reuters.
I brevet, som har bekräftats av en talesperson för departementet, har landets universitet instruerats med att omedelbart förbjuda kvinnor att studera, något som ska gälla tillsvidare. Beslutet har ännu inte meddelats officiellt.
I samband med att talibanerna tog över makten i landet under förra året påstod de bland annat att kvinnor inte ska fråntas rätten till studier. En rapport från FN visar dock att kvinnor systematiskt fråntagits sina rättigheter under talibanernas första år vid makten.

After their takeover of Afghanistan in August 2021, the Taliban prevented most teenage girls from returning to secondary school education, and blocked women in Afghanistan from working in most sectors outside of health and education. Women have been ordered to wear face coverings in public, and barred from traveling more than 45 miles (70 km) without a close male relative. In July 2022, Hibatullah Akhundzada, the Taliban's reclusive leader, lashed out at the criticism and demands of the international community on the Taliban's human rights restrictions, rejecting any negotiations or compromise on his "Islamic system" of governance.Also during their first rule in Afghanistan (1996–2001), the Taliban were considered notorious internationally for their misogyny and violence against women. Women were forced to wear the burqa at all times in public. In a systematic segregation sometimes referred to as gender apartheid, women were not allowed to work, they were not allowed to be educated after the age of eight, and until then were permitted only to study the Qur'an.: 165 Women seeking an education were forced to attend underground schools, where they and their teachers risked execution if caught. They were not allowed to be treated by male doctors unless accompanied by a male chaperone, which led to illnesses remaining untreated. They faced public flogging and execution for violations of the Taliban's laws.: 12, 31–32 The Taliban allowed and in some cases encouraged marriage for girls under the age of 16. Amnesty International reported that 80% of Afghan marriages were forced.
