The women they will not be able to attend universities in Afghanistanaccording to an order published this Tuesday by the Taliban government, in a new movement of oppression by the fundamentalist regime, which already banned secondary education for girls a year ago.
The decision issued by the Minister of Higher Education of the talibanShaikh Nida Muhammad Nadim, was taken after a government cabinet meeting, according to an official letter published by Afghan media.
The letter addressed to the authorities of the universities of the public and private sector instructs the centers to prohibit all kinds of education for women “with immediate effect 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, they had promised on several occasions that they would allow the education of the girls once they found a teaching model that complied with Sharia, or Islamic law.
Over the course of almost a year and a half, these restrictions were added to others in a continuous setback of human rights for women, such as the segregation by sex in public places, the imposition of the burqa or the obligation to go accompanied by a male relative on long journeys.
