Peter @pvanagtmael reports on the aftermath of the Taliban's takeover and the subsequent erasure of women from public life in Afghanistan for @vanityfair. ⁠ ⁠ "On a recent trip to Afghanistan, it was clear to me that the erasure of women from public life is well under way. Edicts have been passed banning girls from school after the sixth grade. Women are now mandated to be fully covered except for their eyes. Female employment has virtually disappeared, though women still work as doctors and surgeons; without them, the hospitals would not be able to keep up with demand." writes van Agtmael.⁠ ⁠ Full story at the link in bio. ⁠ ⁠ PHOTOS (left to right): ⁠ ⁠ (1) Taliban in Wazir Akbar Khan park in Kabul.
