It was right that Nobel peace prize recognised the fight against gender oppression. But it should have been an Iranian & Afghan woman jointly winning. Or both Iranian & Afghan women’s movements. Afghan women face near erasure from public life & they risk it all to protest.

"This barring is neither Islamic nor humane." Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu commented on the Taliban banning women from universities in Afghanistan. Besides Turkey, various other governments have condemned the Taliban’s decision.

Another slap in the face for Afghan women. The taliban banning women from university guarantees the collapse of Afghan society. Shameful #Taliban #LetAfganGirlsLearn #FreeAfghanWomen #universityban #Afghanistan
