With the re-emergence of the Taliban in Afghanistan, millions of Afghan girls and women have been barred from further education and have an uncertain future. The international community has strongly criticized the Taliban for barring women and girls from higher education. The Taliban have vowed to launch a plan to resume women's education soon. Will girls and women be able to return to school and work again?
Afghanistan is one of the worst countries for women in the world after Yemen and Syria, according to the Georgetown University Institute for Women, Peace and Security. In many rural areas, life has changed little over the centuries. The women wake up in the morning and take on the heavy work of the house and the fields.
According to the United Nations, one in three girls in Afghanistan gets married before the age of 18, and most of these marriages are forced.
