Taliban say no to girls' education

The head teacher of a girls’ school in Afghanistan was killed by the Taliban after ignoring warnings to stop teaching girls.

Education for women was banned by the Taliban as “un-Islamic” from 1996 to 2001. Women won back some rights after the U.S.-led invasion in 2001. 

Many girls have returned to school in the past decade, but the right to education is hard to enforce in remote and conservative areas of the country.
