On March 23rd thousands of Afghan girls headed to school for the first time in eight months, kitted out in bulging rucksacks, neatly pressed headscarves and covid-19 face masks. Within hours, they were at home in tears—and not because of playground fights or test results. In a last-minute pivot, the Taliban had backtracked on a decision to reopen secondary schools for girls and sent them home.

On March 23, thousands of Afghan girls went to school for the first time in eight months, carrying bulging backpacks, neat headscarves and covid-19 masks. Within hours, they were in tears at home — not because of a fight on the playground or a test score. At the last minute, the Taliban changed their decision to reopen secondary school for the girls and sent them home.

The new Taliban are beginning to look a lot like the old Taliban who ran Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001, when women who failed to cover every inch of flesh in public were beaten and adulterers were stoned to death. But Afghan women have changed after two decades of American-backed government. Many have university degrees. Before the Taliban seized power last year, almost 30% of civil servants were women. On the streets of Kabul book-waving girls have been chanting: “open the schools”.

The new Taliban began to look a lot like the old Taliban, who ruled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001, when women who did not cover every inch of their skin in public were beaten and adulterers stoned to death. But after 20 years in power in U.S.-backed Afghan government, women in the country have changed dramatically. Many women have college degrees. Before the Taliban seized power last year, almost 30 percent of the civil servants were women. On the streets of Kabul, girls brandishing books have been shouting "open schools."
