When the Taliban seized Kabul, they closed the university. Ten thousand

students, including four thousand women, could no longer study. Schools for boys

suffered too, because the majority of teachers were women. By December of 1998,

UNICEF reported that in Afghanistan nine out of every ten girls and two out of every

three boys could no longer attend school. Then the religious police began to patrol the

streets, beating women who might venture out alone, beating women who were not

dressed properly, beating women who so much as laughed out loud. Women were

ordered not to wear shoes that made noise. The Taliban closed female bathhouses and

hair salons.
