Afghan Female Student: 'I've Been Crying Since Schools Were Closed' [1]

["Rfe Rl'S Radio Azadi"]

Date: 2022-08

Monawara Quraishi is an Afghan teenager. She is upset that she cannot complete her high school courses due to the Taliban's restrictions on schooling for girls. "Since the schools were closed, I have been crying," the 19-year-old has told Radio Azadi -- RFE/RL's Afghan service -- which has become a rare arena for dissenting voices after the Taliban seized power. The United Nations and international organizations have voiced deep concerns over the dramatic shrinking of women's rights under the Taliban.
