Afghan Women's Literary Works Circulate Amidst Bans

Afghan Women's Literary Works Circulate Amidst Bans

The Taliban government has directed universities in Afghanistan to remove books written by Afghan women.

Courses such as human rights and women’s sociology have also been banned.

This action limits what students can learn and is part of larger restrictions on women’s participation in education.

Despite these changes, Afghan women’s writings continue to be shared globally through various publications and oral traditions.
