This is breaking my heart tonight. Despite every international forum and institution set up to protect human rights, women’s remain a secondary priority. Where’s the ICC on Taliban leadership? Where is the UN? Where are the signatories to the ECHR? Where is ANYBODY?

Women—Freedom—Life🇦🇫
After the Taliban announced the ban on girls’ education in medical institutes, female students in various provinces of Afghanistan protested. Some were barred from institutes and universities by the Taliban with cries and farewells.

Emotional footage from Afghanistan shows Afghan female medical students and their instructor in tears, consoling each other after the Taliban banned them from continuing their studies. The new directive shuts women out of medicine—the last field still open to them.

In today’s @thetimes I’ve written a data-led defence of studying the humanities.
Today’s children have a clear line of sight to their future careers, and are shunning humanities subjects as a result. I think that’s a bad idea.
