“You have two daughters—do they go to school?” “Of course.” Suhail Shaheen’s (Taliban spokesman) two daughters go to school in Doha, with the oldest even playing football in her schools team. And yet girls are banned from school in Afghanistan.

“It  is not the decree of the ministry, it is the decree of God. The real cause of moral corruption is the face. If the face is not covered, then what is the point of Hijab?” The Ministry of Vice & Virtue roaming around a shopping mall in Kabul monitoring how women dress

Yesterday the Taliban did not allowed female students to enter university in Kabul, with colourful headscarves. And just yo remind you it's been 244 days since Taliban banned teenage girls from school. Isn't it against fundamental human rights and SDGs ? #LetAfghanGirlsLearn

While many receive awards on Afghanistan, this man does the real work in the most inaccessible parts of the country. He wins hearts, not awards.

Sara, Shukria Barakzai & Zahki all fled Afghanistan last summer as the Taliban took over the country. lucy marley and Alpha Kamara went to meet them to find out how difficult it was to leave and if they have any plans to return to Afghanistan.

Last week, FMC’s Spouses Organization held a virtual event with Shukria Barakzai to discuss her experiences fighting for women’s rights in #Afghanistan, despite the Taliban’s brutal regime and attacks on her life, as well as her tenure in the Afghan Parliament.

And the person responsible for it is currently acting as Afghanistan’s Interior Minister. Shocking, shameful and embarrassing, isn’t it?

The #Taliban have beaten up several barbers in #Ghazni for not obeying their order of not shaving beards at their shops. A local source in the province on Saturday (June 04) said that the Taliban had increased their control on barber shops across the city for several days.

Pakistan has crossed all the limits of barbarism. Today, what is being done with our honorable daughters and sisters, will never let a single option of forgiveness for Pakistan. The civilized world should recognize the fact and fulfill their role to protect the Baloch nation.

Extending travel ban waiver for Taliban will be an injustice of Himalayan proportions. It would amount to rewarding them for mass murders, summary executions,rape and torture. Having turned Afg into a huge concentration camp for women, Taliban don’t deserve any more concessions.

341 days since the Taliban banned teenage girls from school. Girls in Afghanistan continue to be deprived of their basic human rights by the Taliban -- simply because of their gender #LetAfghanGirlsLearn
