The Taliban bans women from nursing and midwifery courses in Afghanistan, affecting 35,000 students.

The Taliban in Afghanistan has banned women from nursing and midwifery courses, further restricting women's education and healthcare access. This move affects around 35,000 female students and comes after women were already barred from education beyond secondary school. With Afghanistan already facing a severe shortage of medical professionals, the ban could worsen the country's healthcare system, particularly for women and children. The decision has been widely condemned by human rights advocates and foreign diplomats.
