As the head of Ireland’s leading Medical School @trinitymed1
I condemn in the strongest possible terms the ongoing assault on the education of women. It’s not just a person tragedy for individuals but also for the future of #Afghanistan https://t.co/I0jwGxL7as

not just universities but schools above grade 6:

In a sign of stricter enforcement of restrictions on teenage girls’ education, a letter from the education ministry on Thursday instructed all educational institutions not to allow girls above grade 6 to access their facilities.

A little girl cries to her father — “the Taliban closed my school today and told us not to come back.”

Her father consoles her and said he will teach her at home but she says she wants to go to school.

The Taliban are reportedly shooting and beating male students who walked out of their exams in Afghanistan today in protest against the ban on women going to university.

This is truly barbaric and horrifying. The world must watch, listen and act now.

Taliban to #media: No call-in shows for women, no shared offices, no male-female co-hosting, no visible face of women, including guests, no music, no question about legitimacy, mention #Taliban leader's full title, & limited coverage of security incidents. https://t.co/LiBz3FOMNT

Afghan mother and child sit in the harsh winter waiting and hoping for bread. Millions are facing famine and #AfghanWomen are banned from working and getting an education. The lack of media coverage is appalling. We cannot and will not abandon our sisters in Afghanistan. pic.twitter.com/aiJ5hAE0Zx
