Talibãs violam promessa de respeitar os direitos das mulheres

By Duncan Mil

December 21, 2022 - Os talibãs quebraram várias promessas de respeitar os direitos das
mulheres desde a tomada do poder no Afeganistão em 2021 e proíbem agora as mulheres de frequentar as universisades, suscitando a condenação internacional e o desespero entre os jovens do país.

The Taliban had promised a softer rule after seizing power 16 months ago following the withdrawal of U.S. troops from the country. However, the hardline Islamists have continued to roll back women’s rights and freedoms in the country.

On Tuesday (December 20), the Minister for Higher Education, Neda Mohammad Nadeem, ordered a nationwide ban on university education for females.

In March, the Taliban promised to re-open some high schools for girls but cancelled the move just days later.

The crackdown also follows a wave of new restrictions on women in recent months. In November, the Ministry of Virtue
and Vice banned women from parks, gyms and public baths in the capital.

Just three months ago, the Taliban had allowed thousands of girls and women to sit university entrance exams in most provinces.
