Taliban Continues Attack on Access to Education for Girls in Afghanistan
Joe Biden oversaw a botched Afghanistan withdrawal in 2021, which left 13 service members dead and thousands left behind to fend for themselves against the Taliban.
Biden said he has “no apologies” for what he did in regards to his decision to withdraw without leaving some troops on the ground, and the women and girls of Afghanistan continue to pay the price.
In September 2021, a month after Biden’s withdrawal, the Taliban announced that girls were barred from studying beyond sixth grade.
In December 2022, the Biden-emboldened Taliban banned university education for women nationwide.
They followed the educational ban by ordering all national and international NGOs to no longer employ women.
