- Since the Taliban returned to power in 2021, Afghan girls have been banned from school past sixth grade — 2.2 million are out of school.
- Women can't work most jobs, walk alone in parks, speak on radio, or study medicine — over 80 edicts now restrict their lives.
- A Firstpost column argues Gen Z protested loudly for causes in India but has said nothing about Afghan women's erasure.
- The writer says Gen Z activism seems limited to democracies, going quiet where regimes are authoritarian or Islamist.
