{Rights group says Taliban fine Ismaili families in Badakhshan over schooling
by Habib Mohammadi
Rawadari, an Afghan human rights organisation, says the Taliban are imposing cash fines on Ismaili families in northeastern Badakhshan province if they refuse to send their children to Taliban-controlled religious schools. In a report on the human rights situation of Afghanistan’s Ismaili community, Rawadari said the Taliban are demanding fines of up to 200,000 afghanis ($2,800) from each Ismaili family whose children do not attend Hanafi Sunni religious schools. The report said Taliban officials in Badakhshan have forced Ismaili boys to attend the schools through threats and intimidation, where they are taught Hanafi jurisprudence, the dominant Sunni school of Islam in Afghanistan. Rawadari said families have been warned that if their children flee the schools or fail to complete their studies, their homes and property would be burned and family members could be killed. In some cases, the group said, Ismaili community elders who resisted the measures were detained, beaten or tortured. The findings echo concerns raised earlier by the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, which reported that Ismaili families could face fines ranging from 20,000 to 200,000 afghanis if they did not enrol their children in Sunni religious schools. Rawadari said its report was based on 25 in-depth interviews and documented what it described as a wide range of rights violations against the Ismaili minority since the Taliban returned to power in 2021. One interviewee cited in the report said Taliban officials forcibly took Ismaili and Shi’ite students to religious schools and later threatened their families after some children escaped. “They told the parents that if the children did not return, their homes would be burned and their relatives killed,” the interviewee said. Another interviewee said Taliban authorities had set up religious schools in Ismaili-majority districts of Badakhshan, assigned village quotas for enrolment, and appointed imams to local mosques to teach Hanafi jurisprudence. The imams were paid monthly by the Taliban, the report said. Rawadari said its research points to a “systematic and targeted” campaign over the past four years – particularly in Badakhshan and Baghlan provinces – to force Ismailis to abandon their faith and adopt Sunni Islam, using coercion, threats and violence. The group said much of the effort was concentrated in Badakhshan’s Darwaz districts and was allegedly overseen by a local Taliban commander. Reuters could not independently verify the claims. Taliban have not commented on the report. The Taliban have previously said Afghanistan’s religious minorities are protected and that no one is forced to change their beliefs.} Video - Source: https://amu.tv/217674/

{Online women’s university says it has provided education to 17,000 Afghan girls
by Setara Qudosi
An online university for women says it has provided higher education opportunities to more than 17,000 Afghan girls over the past three years after they were barred from attending universities under Taliban rule. The Women Online University said it marked its third anniversary this week in separate events attended by hundreds of students. University officials said the platform was established on Dec. 22, 2022, about a week after the Taliban imposed restrictions on women’s access to higher education. Teaching is carried out by hundreds of volunteer lecturers, they said. According to the university, courses are offered in 16 fields of study and two cohorts of students have graduated so far. The institution has also set up a psychological counselling clinic for students and said some graduates have entered the job market. The university said it has signed memorandums of understanding with international academic institutions and has submitted a petition to the European Parliament seeking recognition of online education, supported by collective student requests. Officials also said the university regularly organises webinars and online awareness programmes. The Taliban have kept universities closed to women for more than three years, effectively cutting off millions of Afghan girls from higher education and drawing widespread international criticism.} Video - Source: https://amu.tv/217477/

{Sources say Taliban block women without male guardians from joint border market
by Habib Mohammadi
Taliban are preventing women they deem to be travelling without a male guardian from entering a joint market between Afghanistan and Uzbekistan, local sources in northern Balkh province said. Residents of the border town of Hairatan said Taliban officials have stopped women described as travelling “without a mahram” from crossing into the market, which serves visitors from Afghanistan and several Central Asian countries. The sources said Taliban personnel have denied entry to women and their companions, refusing to process identity documents and subjecting them to verbal abuse and humiliating treatment. They added that restrictions are most pronounced on Fridays, when Afghan visitors are most numerous. On those days, Taliban officials allegedly delay travellers for hours under the pretext of document checks and later force them to leave the area. “The humiliating treatment Afghans face on our side of the border is worse than what we experience from Uzbek officials,” said one Afghan man who has visited the market. “On Fridays, people are lined up, told their passports will be checked, but after hours, they are driven away without any checks.” According to the sources, many Afghans travelling to the market are elderly women seeking medical treatment from Uzbek and Russian doctors operating there. They said Taliban restrictions based on the absence of a male guardian have prevented many women from accessing healthcare and other services, creating serious difficulties for families. Taliban officials have not commented on the allegations. Since returning to power in 2021, the Taliban have imposed sweeping restrictions on women’s movement, requiring male guardians for travel in many circumstances. The policies have drawn repeated criticism from the United Nations and international rights groups.} Source:https://amu.tv/217266/

{Warnings of the Rising Threat of ISIS–Khorasan and the Recruitment of Children in Afghanistan
UN: warned of ISIS-Khorasan’s growing threat in Afghanistan, saying it has about 2,000 fighters, including Pashtun leaders and Central Asian militants, and recruits children through systematic indoctrination with extremist ideologies across the country.
News Center — ISIS–Khorasan is an affiliate of ISIS active in Afghanistan and Pakistan and is considered one of the most dangerous terrorist groups in the region. It seeks to carry out large-scale attacks inside and outside Afghanistan, while demonstrating its ability to recruit fighters and attract international funding. A recent United Nations report issued today, Saturday, December 20, warned of the growing threat posed by ISIS–Khorasan in Afghanistan, noting that the group includes nearly 2,000 mercenaries, among them Pashtun leaders and fighters from Central Asian countries. The report indicated that ISIS relies on recruiting children under the age of fourteen by indoctrinating them with extremist ideas and training them to carry out suicide operations in schools it has established in the north of the country and in areas near the Pakistani border. It also explained that ISIS aims to conduct large-scale international attacks, while strengthening its recruitment capabilities and securing additional sources of funding. Analysts believe that the expansion of ISIS–Khorasan’s influence poses an ongoing threat to the security of Afghanistan and the wider region, warning that the absence of a coordinated response could lead to an escalation in terrorist attacks and worsening security risks} Source: https://jinhaagency.com/en/actual/warnings-of-the-rising-threat-of-isis-khorasan-and-the-recruitment-of-children-in-afghanistan-38195

Womens' Fight for Education

{“I began fight for the right to education from inside my home”: Interview with Rahil Talash
Rahil Ansari Talash was born in Balkh Province. She studied law and political science and began her professional career as a literacy teacher. Starting in 2014, she worked in the private banking sector and then, in 2017, she was recruited as a staff member at the UN-Habitat office in northern Afghanistan, where she worked until 2019. After relocating to Kabul, she joined the Ministry of Communications to work in the Afghan telecom sector. At the same time, Rahil Talash has consistently been active in social and civic work, including serving as the deputy of the Northern Afghanistan Youth Organization in Balkh. Following the fall of Kabul in 2021, she was among the first women protesters to take to the streets, raising her voice against the Taliban’s takeover of the country and the widespread violations of women’s rights. As a result of these activities, she was directly threatened and pursued by the Taliban. After moving residence several times for her own security, she was forced to leave Afghanistan on November 4, 2021, and sought refuge in Pakistan. In Pakistan, she continued her protest activities by organizing and leading more than 50 demonstrations and protest actions against the situation of women and the broader human rights crisis in Afghanistan. In addition, she supported Afghan refugees, including through interpretation, counselling, and emergency assistance. Talash sought asylum in France earlier this year and now continues her activities from there; this interview was conducted beforehand.
This interview has been edited for style, clarity, and length:
Zan Times: In your own view, who is Rahil Talash?
Rahil Talash: Rahil Talash is a women’s rights defender, a social activist, a member of the leadership board of the Afghan Justice-Seeking Women’s Movement, the head of the Hazara Migrants Organization in Pakistan, a board member of a South Asia–based organization, and an active member of the Afghanistan Peace Dialogue initiative. For the past eight years, I have been engaged in the struggle for justice. My activism began inside my own home. In my family, girls were not allowed to study. With the support of my mother and without my father’s knowledge, I secretly pursued my education up to third grade. Later, I tried to enroll in literacy courses organized by Dr. Sima Samar but the coordinator initially refused to accept me because I was very young as those classes were intended for adult women who could neither read nor write. However, through persistence and determination, I was eventually able to join and complete three levels of study over the course of 18 months. It was there that I learned how to read and write. The first sentences I ever wrote were: “Afghanistan is my country. Afghanistan is beautiful. I love Afghanistan.” These words have remained deeply engraved in my mind ever since.
ZT: People know you as one of the Afghan women who protested in Pakistan. How did that movement come into being?
Talsh: After the collapse of Afghanistan and the Taliban’s takeover, I was the sole breadwinner of my family. Until the very day — and the very moment — the Taliban entered Kabul, I was at my workplace at the Ministry of Communications. We were dismissed from the office and told to go home as quickly as possible. In the first 24 hours, I felt like a lifeless body. I did nothing but cry. The next day, I messaged my colleagues and suggested we return to work. When Niloufar, Diba, Mojgan, and I reached the office gate, we were not allowed to enter. The Taliban treated us with extreme humiliation, saying, “Go back to your homes, shameless women. You come here for immorality. There is no place for immorality here anymore. Get lost.” We tried to return twice more, but each time we were met with abusive behaviour from the Taliban and forced to go back home. For a while, we were all depressed and exhausted, confined to our houses. Our salaries were frozen in the banks. I went hungry for a week. I was forced to eat stale, moldy dry bread soaked in water. Even now, it is painful for me to talk about those days. On September 3, 2021, I and a group of girls organized a street protest together. After several protests on the streets of Kabul, I was being pursued by the Taliban. I kept changing my place of residence and my movements, but I was still being followed. Eventually, I was forced to leave Afghanistan and seek refuge in Pakistan. The first protest we organized in Pakistan took place on March 8, 2022. Just like in Kabul, these gatherings were spontaneous. With the exchange of just a few messages, we came together and raised our voices. Dozens of protests followed — and they continue to this day.
ZT: Did these protests have a leadership? And where are they held?
Talash: There was no formal leadership. We coordinated through WhatsApp groups, where we consulted with one another and decided on the time and place, then gathered there. Most of these protests took place in Islamabad.
ZT: In total, how many protesters or women are working and active together?} Source: https://zantimes.com/2025/12/17/i-began-fight-for-the-right-to-education-from-inside-my-home-interview-with-rahil-talash/

Malala Yousafzai and father Ziauddin Yousafzai
Zan Times - Nov 10, 2025 - by Ziauddin Yousafzai
{Letter from Ziauddin Yousafzai, co-founder of Malala Fund, for Afghan men
To Afghan fathers and brothers,
I have been where you are now. I was once a father watching helplessly as the Taliban tried to erase my daughter’s future. In 2008, they took over our town in Swat Valley and forbade our girls from going to school. My daughter, Malala, risked her life to speak out against this injustice. Over the last four years, your daughters and sisters have been fighting for their dreams and ambitions — learning in secret, expressing themselves through poetry and art, resisting in every way they can. And I have seen your courage too: male students walking out of their classrooms in protest as their female classmates were barred from learning, fathers risking everything to make sure their daughters can continue their education, families and communities opening their homes to support underground schools. You know that every girl deserves an education, and your bravery and love are keeping hope alive.
As Muslim men — whether in safety or in struggle — we are called by our faith to stand with girls and women in defending their right to learn, to work and to move freely. Education is not a Western idea; it is a sacred duty. The Prophet (peace be upon him) taught us that seeking knowledge is an obligation for every Muslim — man and woman alike. Our own history affirms this: Khadija, a successful businesswoman, and Aisha, one of the greatest scholars of Islam, each embodied the power of learning guided by faith. I know these are difficult and dangerous times. To stay silent in the face of injustice can feel safer, but it is to turn away from our faith’s legacy. Speaking against the Taliban’s gender apartheid regime is frightening, but remaining silent is far more terrifying because nothing will change on its own. To speak out is both a father’s duty and a believer’s duty to protect the dignity and future of our daughters. To every brave Afghan father and brother helping girls learn: I salute your courage. Never give up hope, and remember you are not alone. Malala Fund will continue standing with and supporting you. Until Afghanistan is free from gender apartheid, every home must become a secret school, every kitchen a classroom, every living room a place of resistance. You can shift cultural expectations and behaviours in your homes and show that valuing girls’ education is a mark of integrity and strength. You can create an environment where learning is protected, even when the world outside is hostile:
●      Teach reading, math or other skills at home. Even basic lessons, practiced consistently, help girls continue their education.
●      Share resources: Use phones and the internet (where possible) to download books, podcasts or educational videos. Organisations like Begum Organization, Education Bridge for Afghanistan and LEARN Afghan provide courses through radio, satellite television and online.
●      Encourage study circles: Brothers can quietly gather cousins, sisters or neighbours to read and study together, providing companionship and safety.
●      Model respect: Men should praise and encourage girls’ learning, showing boys that supporting their sisters’ education is honourable.
●      Create time and space: Brothers and fathers can take on household chores so girls have time to study.
●      Keep hope alive: Words of encouragement strengthen girls’ resilience in the face of oppression.
Remember that the Taliban can take away girls’ schools, jobs and public spaces, but they cannot take what lives in your heart and mind, nor the knowledge you choose to pass on. Your courage at home today strengthens the fight for girls and women’s freedom everywhere.
In solidarity,
Ziauddin Yousafzai, co-founder of Malala Fund} Source: https://zantimes.com/2025/11/10/letter-from-ziauddin-yousafzai-co-founder-of-malala-fund-for-zan-times/
