Australia Sanctions Taliban Officials Over Human Rights

Australia has decided to punish four important leaders in Afghanistan's Taliban government.

The reason is that these leaders are involved in making life very hard for women and girls in Afghanistan.

Australia says these leaders are stopping women and girls from going to school, working, and moving freely.

Australia was once part of a group that helped Afghanistan, but now it's using new rules to put pressure on the Taliban.

The Taliban says they respect women's rights, but many people disagree.

Australia has also helped many women and children leave Afghanistan because of the difficult situation there.
