Taliban Image: Twitter video grab
Several women assembled on the streets of Kabul on Tuesday to demonstrate against closure of school for girls in Afghanistan.
The women who had gathered at the gates of UNAMA in Kabul said that the international community, human rights group, and the United Nations are completely indifferent to the restrictions imposed by the Taliban in particular on the Afghan women, reports Khaama Press.
The demonstrators told Khaama Press that the silence of the UN against the ongoing situation in Afghanistan is “shameful”.
The women chanted “rights to education, rights to work, are the fundamental rights of women” and “history will be ashamed of the silence of the UN”, reports Khaama Press.
The Taliban took control over Afghanistan on Aug 15 after entering Kabul city.
