Female university students in Afghanistan were turned away from campuses on Wednesday after the Taliban-run administration said women would be suspended from tertiary education.

The decision to bar women was announced on Tuesday evening in a letter to universities from the higher education ministry, drawing condemnation from foreign governments and the United Nations.

“My classmates informed me about us being banned from universities - I cried a lot. I had all of my study materials but couldn’t study,” said one female student who was affected by the decision.

A group of women marched near Kabul University chanting "either everyone or no one" and "one for all" following the Taliban’s decision.
