The Taliban Are Taking Over Schools!



This video talks about the closing of schools and the rules put in place by the Taliban on schools in the Swat Valley. Women who are attempting to go to school cannot do so without adhering to the regulations put in place by the Taliban. This is a major problem in Pakistan currently because women do not often get the chance to go to schools in rural areas, especially in the Northwest Frontier Province.

  1. This is a very interesting and frightening piece. The Taliban has a scary hold of this region. It makes you think how lucky you are as a woman to be able to be educated here without ridicule.
