Life under Taliban rule: the Afghan girls fighting to go to school

After the recent Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, millions of teenage girls have been forbidden from receiving a high school education.

Taliban officials have claimed the ban is temporary, but said the same thing the last time they were in power more than two decades ago. Back then, girls of all ages never returned to school.
Today, much has changed in the country, and a new generation of girls and women possess radically different aspirations than they were previously allowed to hold. An anxious population waits to see to what extent the Taliban has changed, too.

It's really heartbreaking , Afghan women are really smart and really beautiful but the only crime they committed is being born in Afghanistan ((

My heart sank when she was looking at her brother going to school through the window.

[@kalyanbv1000]

She is a very smart girl..with whatever little means she has, she is trying to keep her studies going..im sure that she will see better days

[@shannonbrown5913]

We should have trained and armed the women. They clearly have more determination and heart than the cowardly men.

Incredibly brave strong women

I wonder what will happens to the woman and her family after this. I hope she and her familiy will not be harm after this.

I’m so proud of the bravery of all of these women - but I’m concerned for their safety since they are speaking so openly against the Taliban. How can they be kept safe? Their faces are so clearly shown I’m scared for these women 😢

[@lol-sg9yy]

I’m suddenly worrying for my female Afghan friend that I met in the internet. I hope she’s fine despite Taliban rule.

Such a beautiful country, people so beautiful, so kind & yet they have to go through this stuff.

[@farhanraza29]

British and American left Afghanistan on its own and now they are reporting about Afghans' problems

[@usmcmma]

Are any women home schooling their daughters or is that forbidden under Taliban rule. I can't imagine the poor women who grew up able to go to school, listen to music, and walk the streets alone. I pray for you all.

[@AmritAmmz]

Just a huge respect for you kid keep up everything's gonna be okay!!

[@ccb3313]

The Taliban’s morals are so different to ours in the west. It’s almost impossible to imagine how anyone that supports and enforces shariah law can talk about morals.

[@t.m5465]

May you have great freedom like any other country!🕊️

[@PreetKaur-fk3ds]

So hard to believe it’s happening in 2023!!

[@michael775]

So so proud of you all 👏 🥰 💛
