LONDON – When Taliban leaders visited an elementary school in Kabul in October 2021, two months after retaking control of Afghanistan, several seven- or eight-year-old girls bravely stood up, one by one, to declare: “Our classes have resumed, but not for our older sisters. We have been promised that our older sisters will return to class, but this has not happened yet!”

Brave teenage girls and women who took to the Afghan streets to demand the right of girls to go to secondary school were subject to brutal suppression this weekend — yet more evidence of the repressive nature of the Taliban regime. These girls may be silenced for a time — but they will not remain silent for ever. Repression can be intensified but it will only smother protests for a time, not end them.
