Over three years since the Taliban takeover and restrictions on women, we hear from those studying abroad.

For women and girls in Afghanistan, there is a ban from secondary school classrooms, and much of public life, by the Taliban.

But a few young women could flee the country, and are now enjoying freedom and education in the West.

    Women and girls over 12 are banned from schools, and prevented from sitting most university entrance exams. There are also restrictions in the work they can do, with beauty salons being closed, as well as being not being able to go to parks, gyms and sport clubs.

    Men have to be pretty insecure to treat women this way. Cowards.
