UN adds Afghan crisis onto agenda after Taliban bans women and girls from school, public spaces, jobs
Fox News
The Taliban, which banned girls from attending school beyond sixth grade, is furthering its restrictions by prohibiting women from participating in social or public events.
The ban triggered global condemnation and remains the Taliban's biggest obstacle to gaining recognition as the legitimate rulers of Afghanistan. But the Taliban defied the backlash and went further, excluding women and girls from higher education, public spaces like parks, and most jobs.
