A number of British scholars who visited Kabul recently said that the Taliban did not completely ban girls from education, but they banned Western teachings.
British scholars said in a press conference on Wednesday, September 13, that the Taliban have not completely banned girls’ education; they have only temporarily suspended “secular and liberal” education.
Sheikh Hamid Mahmood, one of these scholars who went to Kabul, said that Amir Khan Muttaqi, the foreign minister of the Taliban, told him that girls in Afghanistan still have different ways to study.
This is while protesting women and human rights activists accuse the Taliban of gender apartheid in Afghanistan because, according to them, this group has completely removed women and girls from society since they came to power.
