Afghan women react to Taliban allowing girls back in school as fears persist for their safety
Fox News
The announcement of returning to school has Afghan women fearful to return due to strict restrictions put in place by the Taliban higher education ministry.
Former U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women's Issues and Vandenberg Coalition Advisory Board Member Kelley Eckels Currie told Fox News the Taliban have had a "medieval mindset toward women."
"Before the U.S. came in and put the Taliban out after 9/11, Afghan women were forced to wear a burqa in public … they could not go anywhere without a male escort … forced into marriage at any age … not allowed to attend school" Currie explained.
