The ruling Taliban has banned women from attending university in Afghanistan, according to an order issued on 20 December 2022. After regaining power, the Taliban initially insisted that women's rights would not be hindered, before barring girls over the age of 12 from attending school earlier this year. The UN envoy to that country, Roza Otunbayeva, once again condemned the closure of secondary schools for girls, a move which she said would mean there would be no more female students eligible for university within two years.
