Since the Taliban took power in Afghanistan, girls and women have been subjected to increasing loss of rights.
They aren’t allowed to work.
Schools are closed to girls and women can’t go to university.
Women can’t leave their homes unless they are accompanied by a close male relative.
Any windows that are visible to the public must be painted black so women inside can’t be seen.
Women must wear a burqa, shrouding them in black with only a small mesh-covered opening to allow them to see.
Women are prohibited from being examined by male doctors and female doctors and nurses are prohibited from working,
After last month’s earthquake, rescuers treated men and boys but didn’t help women and adolescent girls.
In response to being banned from school, girls were studying on-line but now the Taliban has stopped internet reception.
