For Mars_B4_Moon ...
First, thank you for your occasional updates on the situation in Afghanistan (eg, Post #148)
Second, based upon news reporting I've seen recently, the Taliban are really making life miserable for woman.
I don't think we need more news about the misbehavior of the men. What I'm hoping you may find is any sign that women are finding the strength to deal with this massive assault on them as a group, and on young women in particular.

more bad news many could predict coming
Female UN employees in Afghanistan are being harassed, detained, report says
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/fema … eport-says
Some Afghan women employed by the United Nations have been detained, harassed and had restrictions placed on their movements since being banned by the Taliban from working for the world body, the U.N. said Tuesday.
Afghanistan's Taliban rulers informed the United Nations early last month that Afghan women employed with the U.N. mission could no longer report for work.
Several other civil society activists have been released - reportedly without being charged - following extended periods of arbitrary detention by the Taliban Intelligence service, the report said.
