Dozens of Afghan women and girls demonstrated on Thursday, in Taloqan city of Takhar province. The protesters demanded that the ban on higher education for girls must be lifted and girls’ schools should be reopened.
According to local sources, the Taliban has violently disrupted the demonstration in Takhar.
At the same time, the Taliban detained five female protesters and three journalists on Thursday in Kabul and transferred them to an unknown location.
According to Taliban sources, the group disrupted the women's demonstrations and beat up the protesters in the capital city too.
These women held a demonstration in Kabul against the ban on girls' education in Afghanistan.
After the Taliban leader’s decree to ban girls' higher education, scores of male and female students protested in various provinces of Afghanistan over the past two days.
Since taking control of power in Afghanistan in August 2021, the Taliban have issued 16 decrees to restrict women’s social participation in Afghanistan.
The recent decree of the Taliban leader has been met with global outcry and widespread domestic criticism.
