On Thursday, the Taliban forcibly dispersed a demonstration by dozens of women, mostly students and social activists, in Kabul, and arrested several of them who were protesting against the fundamentalist decision to ban female education at universities.

Shouting “all or nothing” and “we want equal educational opportunities,” a group of dozens of “community activists, girls and students” gathered today in the Debori metropolitan area to protest “the brutal decision of the Taliban government,” EFE said. march organizer Basira Hussaini.

However, his statement suddenly stopped because “the security forces Taliban along with their policemen, they brutally broke up the protest, tortured and detained some of us,” Hussaini added.

Some protesters shared videos on social media accusing the security forces of “attacking” them and detaining several of them.

The incident comes a day after the Taliban banned women from entering universities, forcing many Afghans who visited the centers yesterday to stay outside while security forces allowed their colleagues to enter.

The fundamentalist ban was strongly condemned by several countries and international organizations, as well as by former Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, who fled the country. Kabul when the Taliban took control of the capital in August 2021.

“I have said it many times and I will say it again: if a girl becomes literate, she will change the next five generations. If a girl remains uneducated, she will ruin five generations,” Ghani tweeted last night. .

And the fact is that the veto power on women’s education in universities, which the Taliban has allowed so far, joins the tax on secondary education and forms part of a long list of restrictions on women, which includes gender segregation in public places, imposing a veil or obligation to accompany a male relative on long journeys.

This gradual hardening of his policy towards women, despite the promises he made to the international community after coming to power, only brings the position of the current Taliban government closer to that of its previous regime from 1996 to 2001, famous for its exclusion of Afghans. and their strict social code.
