BBC News published this video item, entitled “What could Taliban rule mean for women and children? – BBC News” – below is their description.
Following the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan, many people have said they are worried about how this will affect the rights of women and children living in the country.
The Taliban follow an extreme version of Islamic code and when they were last in power in Afghanistan this meant women and girls weren’t allowed do a lot of things, like work or go to school.
Although the Taliban insist – unlike during their rule in the 1990s – that women will be allowed to work and get an education, many women in Afghanistan are sceptical and deeply anxious.
