KABUL, Sept 12 — Less than a month after the Taliban rolled into the Afghan capital, Rabia Jamal made a tough decision — she would brave the hardliners and return to work at the airport.

Women will be allowed to attend university as long as classes are segregated by sex or at least divided by a curtain, the Taliban’s education authority has said, but females must also wear an abaya, an all-covering robe, and face-covering niqab veil.
Under new rules, women may work “in accordance with the principles of Islam”, the Taliban have decreed, but few details have yet been given as to what exactly that might mean.
