Taliban Suspends Women's University Education in Afghanistan

Let's start with a major story overseas, The taliban will be suspending university education for Women and Girls in Afghanistan, according to a letter written by the higher education minister. This new law is expected to take effect immediately, closures of universities of women are already underway and what activists are calling a blatant attack on women's rights. Women are also barred from working in most areas and must have a male guardian escort them during travel. This news comes after the Taliban promised it would protect women's rights following the group's takeover in the country, and that was last year.
