The Iranian authorities have shown on Saturday their willingness to provide university education to Afghan women after the Taliban announced the suspension of classes for female students in these centers in Afghanistan, unleashing a new wave of criticism from the international community.
Rasul Mousavi, head of the Iranian Foreign Ministry’s West Asia Department, said on his Twitter account that Tehran is ready to «solve the problems of women’s education» in Afghanistan, including options «through the Internet».
Thus, he detailed that he has transferred the proposal to the Taliban representative in Tehran, Abdulqayum Soleimani, after Iran was critical of the decision of the fundamentalist group and asked that the decision be reversed to allow the resumption of classes for women in universities in Afghanistan.
Earlier on Saturday, the Taliban used water cannons to suppress a protest in the Afghan city of Herat against the ban on women’s access to university education, amid a raft of restrictive measures that have limited the public role of Afghan women.
