Women training as midwives and nurses in Afghanistan have told the BBC they were ordered not to return to classes in the morning - effectively closing off their last route to further education in the country.

Five separate institutions across Afghanistan have also confirmed to the BBC that the Taliban had instructed them to close until further notice, with videos shared online showing students crying at the news.

The BBC has yet to confirm the order officially with the Taliban government's health ministry.

However, the closure appears to be in line with the group's wider policy on female education, which has seen teenage girls unable to access secondary and higher education since August 2021.

The Taliban have repeatedly promised they would be reitted to school once a number of issues were resolved - including ensuring the curriculum was "Islamic".

This has yet to happen.

One of the few avenues still open to women seeking education was through the country's further education colleges, where they could learn to be nurses or midwives.

Midwifery and nursing are also one of the only careers women can pursue under the Taliban government's restrictions on women - a vital one, as male medics are not allowed to treat women unless a male guardian is present.

Just three months ago, the BBC was given access to one Taliban-run midwife training centre, where more than a dozen women in their 20s were learning how to deliver babies.

The women were happy to have been given the chance to learn.

“My family feels so proud of me," a trainee called Safia said. "I have left my children at home to come here, but they know I’m serving the country."

But even then, some of the women expressed fear about whether even this might be stopped eventually.

What will happen to those women - and another estimated 17,000 women on training courses - is unclear.

No formal announcement has been made, although two sources in the Ministry of Health confirmed the ban to BBC Afghan off the record.

In videos sent to the BBC from other training colleges, trainees can be heard weeping.

"Standing here and crying won’t help," a student tells a group of women in one video. "The Vice and Virtue officials [who enforce Taliban rules] are nearby, and I don’t want anything bad to happen to any of you."

Other videos shared with the BBC show women quietly protesting as they leave the colleges - singing as they make their way through the hallways.

One Kabul student said she had been told to "wait until further notice".

Even though it is the end of our semester, exams have not yet been conducted, and we have not been given permission to take them," she told the BBC.

Another student revealed they "were only given time to grab our bags and leave the classrooms".

"They even told us not to stand in the courtyard because the Taliban could arrive at any moment, and something might happen. Everyone was terrified," she said. "For many of us, attending classes was a small glimmer of hope after long periods of unemployment, depression, and isolation at home."

What this means for women's healthcare also now remains to be seen: last year, the United Nations said Afghanistan needed an additional 18,000 midwives to meet the country's needs.

Afghanistan already has one of the worst maternal mortality rates in the world, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), with a report released last year noting 620 women were dying per 100,000 live births.

They should practice selective breeding to decrease the population of the Afghan man, and later breed them all out. Crying for what? Anyway, both Arab/Muslim men and women are wicked, so they should enjoy each other’s wickedness.

This is the kind of darkness that Muslims want to bring upon humanity. They ran away from Afghanistan, a Sharia country, to the UK so that they can enforce this evil law on the UK. The same law that they flee from is the same law they want to impose on other people's countries.

Islam is a curse to humanity!!!

That is Islam in its raw element. A vigorously backward and oppressive religion. This is why I say that if you find a religious moderate Arab dictator like Assad. Just leave him in power.

I'm sorry for the women there. But unfortunately there's nothing meaningful anyone can do at this point.

By the time Taliban is done with Afghanistan, they will beg for Americans to come and 'colonise' them again.

This is serious not a laughing matter, this is a great bondage.

What ever es CRY suppose be Laff na y.

ISLAM IS A CURSE TO ANY SOCIETY IT MANAGES TO CREEP INTO.

Islam:
As long as their population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness:

United States 1.0%
Australia 1.5%
Canada 1.9%
China 1%-2%
Italy 1.5%
Norway 1.8%

At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs:

Denmark 2%
3.7%
United Kingdom 2.7%
Spain 4%
Thailand 4.6%

From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. They will push for the introduction of halal food, thereby securing food preparation jobs. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves along with threats for failure to comply. (United States ).

8%
Philippines 5%
Sweden 5%
Switzerland 4.3%
The Netherlands 5.5%
Trinidad &Tobago 5.8%

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves. The ultimate goal is not to convert the world but to establish their law over the entire world.

When they reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions ( Paris car-burnings) . Any infidel action that offends them will result in uprisings and threats.

Guyana 10%
India 13.4%
Israel 16%
Kenya 10%
Russia 10-15%

After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning:

Ethiopia 32.8%

At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare:

Bosnia 40%
Chad 53.1%
Lebanon 59.7%
Nigeria 50%

From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of their law as a weapon and a tax placed on infidels:

Albania 70%
Malaysia 60.4%
Qatar 77.5%
Sudan 70%

After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide:

Bangladesh 83%
Egypt 90%
Gaza 98.7%
Indonesia 86.1%
Iran 80%
Iraq 97%
Jordan 92%
Morocco 98.7%
Pakistan 97%
Palestine 99%
Syria 90%
Tajikistan 90%
Turkey 99.8%
United Arab Emirates 96%

100% will usher in peace because everybody is one of them:

Afghanistan 100%
Saudi Arabia 100%
Somalia 100%
Yemen 99.9%

Of course, thats not the case. To satisfy their blood lust, they then start killing each other for a variety reasons.
Culled from …

FreeStuffsNG, yarimo, WriterNG, helinues, God1000, CoronaVirus, other fanatics, your role models are a disgrace to human beings.

Do people still take afghans seriously?

Islam ehnn ☪️ 🕋 🕌


So, taliban prefers that pregnant 🤰 women
die than allowing women to train as midwives.


Their mentality will be like, if Allah wants
A woman who is in distressed labor to live,
he won't allow her die, but if she dies, na the
wish of Allah

What’s this world turning into

So all nurses would be male going forward?and male midwives midhusbands would now take delivery?
Bloody perverts!!!

This animals should let their Women breathe for a moment na

They dont want them to see bumbum or what? Because their own no dey bumbum, sex, and lusting after pre-pubescent and recently pubescent girls, pointly greatly to their foundational hypocritical lack of self-control, especially of their male folk.

well to me sha, the Taliban's decision to suspend all female students in nursing and midwifery schools is not only a regressive step for women's rights in Afghanistan but also a profound oversight in of public health and societal development. By denying women access to education and professional training, then you have simply and foolishly undermined the very foundations of a functional healthcare system, which is crucial for the nation's recovery and development.

It is imperative for the international community, NGOs, and human rights organizations to advocate for the rights of Afghan women and to provide for educational initiatives that can circumvent these restrictions. Creating alternative pathways for education, including online learning and international scholarships, can help empower Afghan women despite the oppressive regime.
While the situation remains dire, let there be hope that the resilience and determination of Afghan women, alongside a strong global advocacy, and , will eventually lead to the restoration of their rights and opportunities.

Why they cannot understand that the empowerment of women is not merely a moral imperative but highly essential for the progress and well-being of society as a whole beats me. You practice selective and gender bias century old doctrine in 2024.

Really, they deserve whatever they get because they saw it coming

That's better. We wer give our women freedom for here. They abuse it, cheats in marriages and gave us another man's child.

Yet miscreants on faceless forum, hailing Taliban when US left their soil, hypocrites that enjoy luxury of freedom in their zoo but surporting slavery in other land ,just because US involved, the same US they are dreaming to enter from time immemorial.
