Taliban ban books written by women from Afghan universities

The Taliban government in Afghanistan has banned books by women from university teaching, removing 140 titles including important subjects like "Safety in the Chemical Laboratory." This new decree also prohibits teaching human rights and subjects deemed conflicting with Sharia law. The Taliban's restrictions have impacted various aspects of life, especially affecting women and girls, who are now barred from education beyond sixth grade, with recent closures of midwifery courses and bans on topics like Gender and Development and Women's Sociology in universities. These actions raise concerns about a significant void in education and the impact on women's rights in Afghanistan.
