As an afghan man, I am so nervous that the Taliban members are still living with their old beliefs and it’s really damaging our country. It’s so hard for me and for other boy students to can’t see girls in universities and schools. Foreign countries like US and UK should increase the pressure on the Taliban.

[@syedmudassarhassanshah804]

Our Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa S.A.A.W.W has clearly directed that "Education in mandatory for man and woman equally." If women will not get education and will not become doctors, then who will do medical treatment of women in Afghanistan? All male prefer lady doctor for their woman regarding medical treatment, their are many kind of diseases which a woman don't feel comfortable to share with male, But they feel comfortable to share with lady doctors and obviously being a woman a lady doctor can understand problem of lady patient much much better than a male doctor.

Good morning Gentle people. Sian says "prisoners have bars on their windows to stop them escaping".Is it not" to stop them from escaping".I am a little puzzled to understand the omission of preposition "from". She could be right. I would be grateful if someone from BBC could clarify the correctness of omission of the preposition " from" in the above context. By the way , thanks to BBC for raising concern against anti-women bias.I look forward to your reply please.
