一 | Kabul, Oct 15 (UNI) A year after banning most teenage girls from attending school, the Taliban are imposing sweeping restrictions on which courses women can enroll for in at public universities, a BBC report said.
The choice for female students can vary from university to university, and depending on which part of the country you're in, the BBC found. Women are allowed to take medicine and nursing in all provinces, as well as teacher training and Islamic studies.
But veterinary science, engineering, economics and agriculture appear off-limits to women nationwide, while opportunities to study journalism are extremely limited.
The militant group have said the correct "Islamic environment" needs to be created for older girls to be allowed back into schools. However, more than a year after they returned to power this still has not happened in most provinces, with reports suggesting hardliners in the group remain opposed to it.
Many girls did not get to complete their final year at school as girls were banned from high school by the Taliban after they seized power in August 2021, the BBC said.
The Taliban did, however, make the decision that girls who were in the last year of school could also sit university entrance exams.
This hope though appears short-lived with the limitations on the subjects being introduced for women only.
At several universities, the BBC report said, female students were given the option of taking a test in subjects such as nursing, midwifery or literature, which are among the courses on offer at the seven faculties open to them at Nangarhar, but not in journalism.
University professors who supervised the entrance examination there confirmed to the BBC that boys would be allowed to choose any subject they want.
Officials expect 100,000 students (including 30,000 women) were likely to take university entrance exams in Afghanistan this year, the BBC said.
The academic year starts either in March or August, and it usually takes two to three months for entrance exam results to be announced. Now, with the Taliban back in power, nobody is sure when the results will be released, the BBC reported.
Male and female students have been taking the exams separately - in line with Taliban rules on segregating students by gender - for example boys in the morning, girls in the afternoon or by using screens in exam halls. In some provinces where the candidate numbers were high, entrance exams were held over two or three days.
Activists told the BBC, the number of female students applying for university will fall dramatically in the coming years, unless the Taliban reopen secondary schools to girls from grades 6 to 12.
Taliban officials are downplaying the restrictions. Abdul Qadir Khamush, who heads the examinations division in the Ministry of Higher Education, says girls can choose their favourite subject, with the exception of just three or four.
"We need to provide separate classes for women. In some areas the number of female candidates are low. So we are not allowing women to apply for certain courses."
Officials are yet to reveal the number of university places on offer this year.
Afghanistan's education sector was badly affected after the Taliban takeover and there has been an exodus of trained academics after the withdrawal of US-led forces last year.
The country's economy has been largely dependent on foreign aid in recent decades, but aid agencies have partly - and in some cases fully - withdrawn support to the education sector after the Taliban refused to allow girls into all secondary schools.
Many of the teaching staff who remain go unpaid for months, the BBC reported.
Taliban restrictions on which subjects girls can study are not always uniformly applied across the country, the BBC discovered. For instance, in Kabul University, girls are still allowed on some courses in the journalism faculty.
But girls cannot circumvent the distance-rule. The Taliban have divided the country into a number of zones and girls are not allowed to study outside them, in what amounts to another very serious restriction based on sex, the BBC found.
UNI ING。 近日，日本写真女星清水蓝理（清水あいり）在接受采访时，罕见地揭开了自己光鲜外表下的痛苦过往。这位以独特关西腔和搞笑风格走红的艺人坦言，自己从小因胸部发育过早，长期活在他人异样眼光中，甚至一度厌恶自己的身体，认真上网搜索过胸部切除的方法，形容那段岁月“自己的身体就像敌人”。清水蓝理回忆，自己从小学四年级起胸部就明显发育，到了高年级因害怕被人注视，开始找各种理由逃避游泳课，甚至模仿母亲笔迹替自己写请假条。升入初中后情况并未改善，体育课跑步时常听到男生在旁议论，让她越来越没自信。更令她难受的是，当时交往的男友也曾提醒她“因为胸部会晃，在学校不要跑”，这句话让她更加在意，从此养成驼背习惯，跑步时甚至用双手抓住长发试图遮挡胸部。这种困扰延续到成年。高中时她在披萨店打工，一次向同龄男顾客打招呼，对方直接脱口说“好大”，更让她无法接受的是，旁边的店长非但没制止，反而笑着看热闹。这次经历几乎让她崩溃，最后几乎是逃跑般离开。
二 | 18岁进入演艺圈后，她原以为环境改变能让自己适应，却仍难逃身材被拿来开玩笑。
三 | 她透露曾在庆功宴上遭一位年纪比父亲还大的男演员拿胸部开玩笑，长年累积的羞辱与不安，让她20岁出头时甚至认为：如果没有这样的身材，或许自己会活得更幸福。
四 | 那时她不仅排斥外貌，还反复怀疑是否自己太敏感，坦言曾把身体视为“最大的敌人”，那是人生中一段相当痛苦的低潮。然而，命运却让她走向了完全相反的方向——曾经千方百计遮掩身材的她，后来主动踏入必须展现身体曲线的写真界。清水蓝理透露，是受到艺术家冈本太郎“站在人生岔路时，总是选择困难的道路”这句话的启发，决定不再逃避，逼自己正面面对最深的自卑。但进入写真行业后，她并没有立刻找回自信。她坦言前三年始终无法真正喜欢自己的身体，即使在海边阳光明媚的拍摄地，脸上表情依然阴沉，工作人员常提醒她要表现得更开朗、更享受拍摄，但她当时就是做不到。对她而言，那时胸部并非值得骄傲的特征，而只是工作中不得不面对的“商业伙伴”。如今，清水蓝理已能自在地以身材特色活跃于荧幕前，但背后其实走过了一段从厌恶、逃避到逐渐与身体和解的漫长历程。她的故事也引发了不少网友共鸣，有人感叹“原来她也曾这么痛苦”，更多人则为她如今的坦然和勇气点赞。
