The Taliban have excluded girls from Afghan secondary schools, with only boys and male teachers allowed back into classrooms.
Schoolgirls told the BBC they were devastated not to be returning. “Everything looks very dark,” one said.
Taliban officials who seized power last month said they were working to reach a decision on the matter.
Many fear a return of the regime of the 1990s when the Taliban severely restricted girls’ and women’s rights.
