Part Of The All-Girls Robotics Team Flees Afghanistan

Amid the Taliban's takeover and concerns about women's rights under their rule, members of a famed Afghan all-girls’ robotics team left the country.

After the Taliban took power in Afghanistan, part of a famed all-girls robotics team fled the country.   On Tuesday, members of the team flew to Qatar and will stay there to continue their education, reported The New York Times. Others on the girls’ team will remain in Afghanistan, according to NPR.  “The Taliban have promised to allow girls to be educated to whatever extent allowed by Shariah law,” the team’s founder, tech entrepreneur Roya Mahboob, told the Times. “We will have to wait and see to what that means.”
