The EU, US and 18 other countries have issued a joint statement saying they were "deeply worried about Afghan women and girls," urging the Taliban to ensure their safety.
They said the deaths took place when local residents tried to install Afghanistan's national flag at a square in the city, which is around 150km to the east of Kabul.Women in Afghanistan fear the worst after return to Taliban rule Meanwhile, more than 2,200 diplomats and other civilians have been evacuated from Afghanistan on military flights, a Western security official said, as efforts gathered pace to get people out after the Taliban seized the capital.
Civilians seeking to leave had been told not to gather unless they had a passport and visa to travel, he said, adding that he had not heard any reports of violence by Taliban fighters at the airport. The Dutch aim to evacuate a total of 1,000 local embassy workers, translators and their families from Afghanistan following the seizure of the capital by Taliban insurgents.
The 35 Dutch were flown to Tbilisi in Georgia along with 16 Belgians, two Germans and two British citizens, Ms Bijleveld said, on a Boeing C-17 plane operated jointly by NATO countries. A Taliban official said leaders would show themselves to the world, unlike in the past when they lived in secret. Women would be allowed to work and study and "will be very active in society but within the framework of Islam," he said.
Several women were ordered to leave their jobs during the Taliban's rapid advance across Afghanistan.
Best case scenario: Sports are for Men Only. Jobs are for Men only. School & Education is for Men only. The Gender Hate Based “Sharia Law” is written by Men to protect them in their non- recognised Gender-Based-Hate Crimes targeting Women. “Women are for Men to pick up & Spit Out

The EU,US and 18 other countries remain silent about Saudi women and girls. Hypocritical wankers.
They will be safe, each Taliban will take care of 2 or 3 woman's. Thanking the US that they got along with the Taliban and left their former allies
Statement not going to help anybody do something about it ffs
That'll definitely work 🙄
Not too worried to leave them with the taliban. It's like letting roll Harris look after your kids once out of prison saying he is reformed. Then saying we are now worried.
Lol, take care of your own people before throwing stones at another country, plebs
