24:45Now PlayingThe Taliban’s latest decree banning women from training as nurses and midwives has drawn global condemnation, with activists calling it “an outrageous act of ignorance” that threatens the lives of millions of Afghan women. Announced on December 2 by the Taliban's Ministry of Public Health, the ban has already shuttered medical training institutions for female students across Afghanistan. Heather Barr of Human Rights Watch warned of the devastating implications: “If you ban women from being treated by male healthcare professionals, and then you ban women from training to become healthcare professionals, the consequences are clear: women will not have access to healthcare and will die as a result.” Protests erupted in Herat as women chanted, “Education is our right,” while experts highlighted the dire consequences of this policy in a country where maternal healthcare was already among the worst globally, with 620 deaths per 100,000 live births. Activists fear the ban will leave women giving birth alone, without skilled healthcare workers, exacerbating Afghanistan’s healthcare crisis.
