Taliban ban women from universities

From Morning Report, 8:45 am on 22 December 2022

The Taliban have banned women from universities in Afghanistan. 

Immediately after the Higher Education Minister announced the decision on Wednesday (NZT), women started being turned away from campuses. 

The regression has sparked international condemnation and dispair among young Afghan people. 

Human Rights Watch Asia advocacy director John Sifton spoke to Morning Report.
