The ruling Taliban regime in Afghanistan has banned university education for all the women across the country. This decision has brought outright condemnation from all over the world, including the United States as well as the United Nations regarding this latest assault on human rights.

Taliban initially promised a softer rule after taking over the country last year but eventually they have kept adding more and more restrictions affecting all aspects of women's lives, despite the international outrage.

This ban on higher education has come just three months after women in thousands appeared for university entrance exams all over the country. Many of them had aspired to select fields like teaching and medicine for their future careers. Now all their hopes have gone in vain with the regime all set to bring back its medieval style rule, of the 1990s.
