Taliban ban women from universities: it is hate, another expression of violence to maintain and preserve the power of men over women, to keep women in a small airless space. This is what Taliban is making of #Afghanistan. A prison for women.

BREAKING: The Taliban have banned women from universities.
This is a shameful decision that violates the right to education for women and girls in Afghanistan. The Taliban are making it clear every day that they don't respect the fundamental rights of Afghans, especially women.
Male students in Nangarhar medical university walked out of classes in protest of Taliban’s ban on female university students. Tens of others protested in front of the university against this decision. #Afghanistan

My home state, Tamil Nadu has become the first state in India to launch its climate change mission. This was the third climate summit I've attended in 2022. Happy to see that there are many government initiatives and private partnerships in tackling climate change in Tamil Nadu.
