This restriction is added to others, such as the ban on secondary education for women, segregation by gender in public places, the imposition of the burqa or the obligation to be accompanied by a male relative on long journeys.
The Ladies they will not be able to attend universities Afghanistanaccording to an order issued by the Taliban government published Tuesday, in a new crackdown by the fundamentalist regime, which banned all girls’ secondary education a year ago.
The decision of the Minister of Higher Education of the TalibanShaikh Nida Muhammad Nadim, was taken away after a cabinet meeting of the Islamist government, according to an official letter published by Afghan media.
The letter addressed to the authorities of the public and private sector universities instructs the centers to ban all kinds of education for women “effective immediately and until further notice”.
Today’s decision is preceded by the ban on the female secondary education imposed since the Taliban came to power in August last year.
However, the Islamists had promised on several occasions that they would allow education for the girls once they found a model of education that complied with Sharia, or Islamic law.
Over the course of nearly a year and a half, these restrictions were added to others in a continuing decline in women’s human rights, such as the separation by sex in public places, the the imposition of the burqa or the obligation to go accompanied by a male relative on long journeys.
