Young Afghan women gathered outside Kabul University on Monday to protest the ruling Taliban’s ban on female education as their male peers returned to school for a new academic year and the United Nations heard the restriction may amount to a crime against humanity. A video shared widely on social media shows a group of girls sitting on the ground outside Kabul University reading their books. CNN has not independently verified when the video was filmed.
Interaction between female and male students was “not allowed in Sharia law,” it said. The ban has sparked an outcry, with girls expressing devastation and the sense they had been robbed of their future.
