Summary

The Taliban has banned Afghan women from training as nurses and midwives, further restricting female education and employment opportunities.

The ban applies to all medical institutes, cutting off critical career paths for women and worsening the country’s healthcare crisis, including its high maternal mortality rate.

Female healthcare workers are vital in Afghanistan, where male doctors are often barred from treating women.

The ban has sparked widespread condemnation, with critics calling it “gender apartheid” and warning of severe consequences for women’s health and societal development.

    Why don’t we skip to the end and get them one of those fuckable silicone asses per man and get the ladies out of there. Situation would fix itself in a generation.

    I dunno what it is about religious extremists, but it really seems like the Taliban want to be a sausage party. The US right wing as well. I think they should just be honest with themselves about why they hate women and want to hang out with other dudes all the time.

      If only. The truth is they just want to assert their dominance over the other gender. By barring all women from doing anything and being given anything, they reduce them to useless objects that serve only as sex slaves and to raise children.

      They don’t get essential healthcare? Who cares? The Taliban don’t expect to have only one wife… at the same time.

        In afghanistan, dudes are sticking their peepee on other dudes. So while dominance is a thing, there is also the whole “doing things with their peepee”. The american right wing has a lot of Macs from always sunny.

        I think the dominance thing is a way for them to pretend it’s not about doing things with their peepee to each other.

    Are all women in Afghanistan covered as lawful refugees in most countries? It’s clear that they aren’t going to stop until they are kept as breeding stock who physically can’t leave the house.
