behind this action. oh, this defiant group of students is taking a stand against the taliban, withdrawing their education. they say their ambitions and dreams cannot be taken from them. my po number, who come up here, oscar, in the 21st century. if there is no education, we will vanish from the face of the earth, no one is going to take us seriously, and we won't be able to demand our rights only with the education. can we understand our rights and responsibilities? this was the notification of an indefinite ban on women's university education. a gynecologist in kabul says a lack of female doctors could put lives in danger. if there is no scores, no universities and no gynecologist, female doctors, that number of our or maternity mortality rate is increasing d by b. despite strong condemnation from several countries and activist groups,

the taliban is yet to respond officially. but sources of told out to theera the taliban is divided between reformists, many of whom engage with the international community. during talks in doh harm and a more conservative faction. one analysts says the decisions are made by small minority guarantee that the vision is becoming lost on what make what she acted these with the u. s. and daughter don't have got to learn that they are not against women educators. there's only 5 people who are managing the whole idea of the heart . lying isn't young nicely to be covered. it was the, the institution of the more the year before the taliban took power in afghanistan. it's 1st deputy leader, sir jude in the ha. connie wrote an article published in the new york times. it said women's rights, the education would be protected, a promise that has been rolled back. but the us also failed on its promised to use economic tools as leverage to moderate the taliban in 2021. it proves nearly

$10000000000.00 in assets belonging to the afghan central bank. women say this still suffering by accident upon a feeling that but that in shallow afghan women are in fact in the worse situation . everything is very difficult for them about personally from me as a girl. i've lived these 2 or one and a half years as the worst years of my life. they were indeed very difficult for me . let us allies indiana, but okay, awesome. i saw me to her niece weird international community to support us and negotiate with the taliban to allow us to continue our studies, studying as my only passion and i love to study. many women say they was shocked by the announcement. i wasn't any shocked. i couldn't believe that there was some rumors that are going to ban goes from attending universities, but we didn't know that this will happen in the middle of the finals, and they won't let these guys graduate for the moment. sees like this. women walking to university hoping to shape their career paths will stop for the

foreseeable future. laura con al jazeera ah, let's bring in august. so how does a psycho social counselor in the region afghanistan, committee, and away the law here, founder of the letter of gun goes, learn campaign, welcome to the program. so ha, give us a sense of what this means for women and female students in the hall. 40 yeah, was i study of cowboy come to hot on the cross i've gone is done. now of course i tell yesterday there was somehow some hopes and heart of each girl and women of ghana. but unfortunately, after the day, i mean yesterday when they issued that you cannot go to courses, universities matter. so they feel like it's in don't work for them because when you

cannot go outside with you and you cannot go, do you get yourself if you do not have any kind of freedom? so obviously they have their worst ever feeling in their lives. i mean we oh, by the law the, the taliban says they took over 6 is 16 months ago. they've been saying that they will definitely look forward. busy to guarantee so, so why it's for good, particularly when it comes to education. now they're back tracking on every single commitment they made. why do you think it happened? i sometimes feel like they have this bucket list of all the promises they need to break. and there is a high that they achieve every time they break a promise or, i mean people were desperately trying to believe that this wasn't the thought upon of the ninety's. he have to understand some of the things that they're doing are worse than what they did in the ninety's. and the fact that it's been

a campaign of misleading the population. they got girls to give the year 12 exams just 2 weeks ago, giving them the false hope that maybe universities were see if maybe high schools were going to open soon. and then we have a directive about the universities today. we have a directive from the ministry of education stating that every provinces to ensure that girls are not allowed in schools beyond grade 6. this is for private institutes for public institutes for institutions that are even teaching languages or courses. so it looks like the pilot barton really want to implement this ban and they're leaving us no room to go with alternatives. there were alternatives of hidden schools. there were alternatives of online schooling. but with this crackdown with how they've today actually rated into schools to make sure that no were there, it just shows that it's getting worse. about 2 months ago. so had i was in

afghanistan and have been to some of those schools, particularly in missouri, city of and cobbled, i've met some of the female suitors, absolutely smart, passionate looking forward to continue their studies, one of them. so remember, she told me she wants to become a national and she wants to go to the united states of america for her past graduate studies. now with this decision, is there any backup plan for them? i can engineers step in to provide them with some sort of an alternative education . otherwise it's just going to be a massive disaster for them. await allows to sit, deter, after dis, decision did they have made them close all courses. all homeless schools are the mother us, us. so it's like that now we do not have any alternative. oh, except the cbc classes that you know. so bab and shit, a unison. but i'm not sure that even those will be able to be opened. of course,

sir, before that to be had option to teach girls at our homes or online or some other places. but at this moment, it's almost 48 hours and that they have announced this decision. and in this 48 hours, i have received more than 50 calls from my students, and derek italy, asking, what should we do? we are not allowed to do anything at all. so are we going to stay at home? are we going to get to mary and just spread or raise a child? is this our future? and oh, loosely what dis condition and if they are not going to change and if they are having the same issue issues with girls education. so i suppose that is gonna be a very tough time, not just for women, but for all afghans on off. obviously it consequences will not to be the same. that did think so. okay, are away the law is sit an indication though we have a divide,

whether the taliban leadership somehow are in favor of those who are not in favor of a so called reformist and the old school or is it because we know that the taliban come from the predominantly bastion areas, basically in the south where people are reluctant to son that goes to school where people are very conservative and they want to implement, implement that tradition across the country. you have to remember that bacteria, which is a by stone province, was the 1st province stage demonstrations against the decision to close our schools . so i think that this is a misplaced generalization to think that a student in general are not in favor of education. the argument off the target bond being 2 flags or 2 sides on education. i mean, even if they are, what difference has that made? there were months before we reached this university baton and less conservative or

pro education part it had all the time in the world and all the political power to do something about it. yes, they were passive. they met did happen. know that the degree for closing down universities isn't an individual department, it's not an individual ministry. it was find it cleared by the cabinet cabinet. that includes these moderates as well. so somehow we've been failed by everyone. even the bulls who promised us that you cation, even those whose doctors tell date what universities and schools around the world, yet, they said in the cabinet, and they sign on a document that says of one girls don't deserve to go to university. if it's not hypocrisy, i don't know what is so hot. i mean if you look at the past few months when the taliban made those decisions about a female scissors access to school that embossed when 222, the 7 girls were bad from schools. and then a may the supremely that hey,

but the law, honda said that it's about time for women to stay at home. that particular announcement by the taliban. do you think it is just going to be the policy of the doctrine of the taliban? for as long as it takes in afghanistan, actually until he turned off march when day stopped, girls from going to school did not tell us. it did not give any issue, did you? you shouldn't be coming to school. but when girls went there, they were told to go back home. so simply it means they want to traumatize. all she mo afghans. this is dear, only the only reason they are doing it else, why are they always giving us hope? but then they have break it, they tell us that ok, come to school, come to university, then suddenly debt is not is lost. and of course, as you said, that humans have go when he said that women should be staying at home. of course,

if woman is not educated, if women are not allowed to be educated, we are going to have a very dark afghanistan. maybe we will experience a day that there wouldn't be any educated woman. well, there will not be it not to be even one woman was educated in afghanistan and most of my friends and my students since yesterday. they are planning how to leave that garrison. so it's like that even if we had one, some female who wanted to stay now, dear decision has changed. okay. they want to leave because did you not have any other option? any other alternative? i see your point. the muslim world is expressing deep disappointment over the taliban order sided ravia turkey of kata that played a major role in mediating between the taliban and the u. s. r. calling on cabal to reverse the decision. washington is threatening to take tougher action against the

taliban leaders. the taliban should expect that decision which is in contravention to the commitments they have made repeatedly and publicly to their own people will carry cos, will carry concrete costs for them. they have seriously asked leave and they look undermines one of their deepest ambitions and other areas where they see progress and that is an improvement at betterment of relations with united states and the rest of the world. are we the law? this is what is battling many people who are watching the events unfold enough canister. on one hand, the taliban made it clear that the desperate for international recognition to the looking forward to see financial aid trickle in into the country. and some of the assets which were, which are frozen in the u. s. central burke bank to be sent back to afghanistan, but that will definitely depend on whether the afghan got the taliban are willing

to install some major reforms. they are giving the world indication today that they are not willing to make any reforms. what kind of impact do you think this will have on the taliban? and on the, i've got people the thought had been through there, 20 years of insurgency had become a fluid insurgency, which is a new sci fi to subgroups that for working under one banner and for one goal, you would expect them to have transformed and gotten over that phase in the past one and a half years of governance. however, it appears that the hand is not talking to the mouse, not part of the system is talking to the other. and every system takes the decisions it needs to take with stamping from the emitter. himself, which is why those who are making the promises a aren't making the decision to be, are passive and don't take a stand on decisions. i've heard of honest on know that we spent months arguing

over the federal reserve is trying to find a mechanism for it to be released. and now that conversation is going to be pause. we spend month arguing with donors that development aid that emergency aid was not enough. that conversation is not going to be pause. we spend months asking the. busy world to do need more and do more by a lot of conversations going shop and then the engagement will respond by who stop . i mean, i do understand the argument where people are thing. ok? sanction them hurts them by how do you heard of toggle button without hurting 35000000 uploads? is there anything to get that specifically targets the title button? because everything you do is going to have very large implications, very by the implications on the worst humanitarian crisis that is already existed in the form. so how the brave woman who took to the streets in august chanting bread, work and freedom, what, what's next for them, do you think that they can still rely on the streets to be able to hope that one

day they will be able to bring about some change ah hahn asleep began today when i, when i saw a woman who is selling vinnish troubles and if she stole that you have to stay home for husband is dead. she doesn't have a thumb on there. what will be her future will well bring bridge for her an off course. currently, it is above 20000000 afghans who are having hunger crisis. so brit then what will be the next year for us? it's like we are having more hungry issues and less the girls who are coming to homeless schools when we were having sessions with them, individuals, tech, social sessions, most of them had suicidal, stopped even. i have a student, she's only 13 years old. and once she wanted to come and suicide along with her mother, and the reason was that did it all have enough bread to eat?

she said, it was easier to dry, didn't to die from hunger. so britain, if it continues didn't, the situation is getting worse and worse, and finally, yeah, well it, they come to it every and williston, the kids because when you do not have anything to eat, when you do not have a future, when you could not get education everything is but, and you saw the basic human needs. freedom is one of them and survivor, another one. so if god is taken from you, what will you do with the law do, do, do the afghans feel of this particular moment that we have been somehow betrayed by the wells? i mean that we need to give up this, this, this thinking process of always expecting the international community to swoop in and save us. i mean, up on a spanking only be faced if the up once fix it. i mean, yes, the odds are against us, but we have to do what we can you have to understand that the prop protests that

have been going on since yesterday the whole camping of all or nothing. which means that either the girls are included or no one goes to school or university, has potential. we're having conversations about how that translates into 2 months later when the winter break. and what can we do up in the form of national mobilization? yes, the international community can complement such efforts can connect with such thought within, up as fun. but at the end of the day up one is done. solutions have to be organic, have to come from within the country and they to be listen to. so ha, you know that the whole debate about the, his job, the made guardian for a girl, if she is planning to travel for long distance, the access to the public parts. in many, many parts of the muslim world, people have moved beyond this debate is no longer something people are grappling with because of major major reforms that we're in to place for, for now, for,

for decades, except for many, for some places and of got his son is one of them, do you have the hope that one day this is something that could convince the top leadership of the afghanistan on the need to reform themselves, or at least the own interpretation of islam for women to thrive in afghanistan? actually honestly speaking, as you said, dad, so they are a, b r, e chair. and so many other islamic countries idea stood against this decision to tell of and talk. and about the her job. of course we did define what they have, the definition of her job is not the exact definition that islam said on. the other reason that most of the times when it comes to education of the school or universities, they said that we want you to have her jobs. but i would want to say just for your program, you to word the afghans do not have any issue with her job. it's not only about her

job. if it was on the about it, even before our girls dated, they were like, always wearing the clothes to get worse so suitable according to the custom we have enough gather. but of course we are living in 21st century. according to that, if we want to have a better future for a job where our own people, we have to accept some changes we have to adopt. and we have to understand that in order to let girl grow in order to have a better society for i've got a son, we have to lead goes educate, do not put more pressure according to the strength like he job all these or you can not travel alarm is quite tough. for example, if girl brother, he is always like going with her to work with the school or she didn't, didn't. when will he work? i, as your husband is always going here and there with me,

which you did when will he work? how will din bet? so it isn't made exact sense. yet what is lamb safe? there are some rules, but of course, according to time, some rules are like changeable and you how you can adopt some changes according to you situation, right, left and our way the law. when you look at the situation in afghanistan, the taliban were asked to bring about an inclusive government. that didn't happen. there is a huge political divide between the taliban and the society of those. also the issue of the treatment of the hazard, are she i community those an issue of reaching out of the opposition and you are to the mix. this problem with the female. her, her education in afghanistan. could it, could this be assigned by the taliban, or masters by the taliban to the afghan people to the international community there from no one was the have to accept this reality. which of the taliban will have the

ultimate se, over whatever they think is the best for the afghan people? yeah. first on huge respect to her and her view on how yeah we, we did expect to have to make compromises. it's just that we didn't expect everything to be taken away. there is this idea of how the pilot on right now are, are there politics seems to be addressed to their own constituencies. and you would expect them to have changed that mindset and realize that now they are responsible for a whole country. so the social contract seems to not have been established or extended . there is also this idea that the constant attempts to cor sibley implement their vision on the large population has historically proven to fail in the partners on in this region as. busy so if they truly want their regina to stay

and they truly do not want the populations grievances to reach a level where they stand up to them, they will have to listen to the educated use of honest fun. they will have to create a synthesis off these 2 visions into something more sustainable, something that we aren't seeing. it seems that there are indifferent towards the population and they're indifferent towards the world. and all that matters to them is abusing their own hard line ranks. unfortunately, we have to leave that about, i promise you so that we continue to talk about this particular issue. hoping about tomorrow's going to be a better day for the gun woman for hadaway, the lab i had, i really appreciate your insights. looking forward to talking to you in the future . and thank you for watching. you can see the program again any time by visiting our website al jazeera dot com for further discussion. got our facebook page that facebook dot com forward slash ha inside for. you can also join the conversational
