Treatment of women by the Taliban
On December 20, 2022, the Taliban banned female students from attending higher education  with immediate effect. This was against the promises they had given earlier. The next day,  December 21, 2022, the Taliban banned all girls and women from education; this included female staff or teachers in schools. Being a teacher was one of the last few jobs women were allowed to take. There are also reports that women who used to work in government jobs previously are being paid to sit at home.
