Forced out of school, Afghan high school girls take to the streets to protest against the Taliban over fears about their future

There are fears that process made in last two decades to educate Afghan girls will be reversed as the Taliban enforce its rule.

The protesters held banners demanding to be able to return to school, saying that barring girls from education would leave an entire future nation uneducated.“We ask them to reopen our schools as soon as possible,” said one protester, Nargis Jamshid, 17. She added that not going to school feels as if “we are moving backward.”

After taking power in Afghanistan last month, the Taliban initially said girls would be given equal access to education, albeit in gender-segregated settings, and promised inclusivity but have since imposed several restrictions on women. In their previous rule in the 1990s, the Taliban had barred girls and women from schools, jobs and public life.Afghan women who have lost jobs at a time when the entire country is facing an economic crisis are particularly critical of the Taliban.
